Talk about copium. People are so butthurt that this mysterious drone swarm flew over Langley without being able to do a thing, that they're making up it was a secret US operation to test US defenses. Why would you advertise US vulnerabilities and mention that it was this secret operation if that were the case? Maybe it was because this isn't actually the incursion and this is just a ploy to get those behind the real incursion to do it again and they'll get caught this time. Yeah that's the ticket!
Interesting how it's mentioned that the same law that prevented the US from shooting down these drones is the same law that has been talked about around how it prevents Trump from wanting to use the US military against Americans in the US. The US must retract this law now because the US under threat from these mysterious drones violating US national security. What a great motivation to remove this law.
The best part is, Skydio can try to build an alternative supply chain outside of China, but it'll never be as competitive. They can speak proudly about the US defence industry needing to establish a new drone supply chain outside of China. But just for Skydio? There just isn't enough economies of scale there. So even if they setup a new supply chain for batteries from let's say Australia, all they way to India, it's still gonna be small, uncompetitive, and more expensive.
This is the thing a lot of deciders don't realize. The Chinese market is much larger than the one in the US. The time when the US could boss others around claiming their market was larger is long gone. Because of this starting a business in China vs the US will nearly invariably lead to higher scale production and possible lower cost per unit.
Some clowns from a certain Supapowar had done something like that already. Using images from the PLA and the Chinese space program in their own propaganda posters.
LoL! Definitely. That is the reality hat the Argentinian pilots have to deal with because their nation had decided to buy American. I'm sure there is a workaround for that. But that is for them to figure out.
The bigger question is, would the Royal Navy be able to send a full strength CSG to the Malvinas this time around?
LoL! The irony is that China's doors are more open than the doors of these "freedom-loving nations" like the Anglo nations and that Bharat Supapowar. They try to close their doors to Chinese tourists. They tell their citizens not to travel to China. And then they blame China for being a hermit kingdom.

Yeah, I kinda get the message.

Money is too good to ignore.
I am in favour of China only giving the basics to India. You can say America helped China but they only gave the basics and also China played its role in working against the USSR without question until it died. India wants everything but hasn't done crap to hurt America. Such entitlement really.
When people actually start looking at what India gives compared to what it takes, they realize that maybe they should start rethinking.
