In terms of whether this is “civilizational inadequacy” or just “optimizing preparation for war is hard”, do you think this advice applies to Taiwan? It’s a similar budget, but a very different theater of combat. I’d expect drones are useful against naval units as well as land, so naively I’d think it’s a similar calculation.
I mean, yeah? I haven’t looked at Taiwan’s situation in particular but I’d expect I’d conclude that they should be buying loads of drones. Thousands or many thousands.
