NBC covering Mach Industries. Similar to Anduril, this company envisions selling "cheap" drones to the US military for use against enemies like China. China has become a buzzword these days for military startups asking for funding and contracts.
The 21-year old CEO of Mach Industries, Ethan Thornton envisions swarms of cheap drones flying over
populated areas (in China) to deliver their payload to destroy civilian infrastructure and factories. The objective is to shut down China's industries. So the new generation of US elites are dropping the good guys pretense. They are openly talking on mainstream media about targeting Chinese civilians to win a war. Depravity or copium? Maybe its both.
Anduril and Mach have been talking big about fighting an industrial drone war against the largest producer of drones and rare earths on the planet. The last time a smaller industrial power attacked a bigger industrial power and murdered its civilians, it didn't end well for the smaller one.
