Americans haven't figured out they're trapped in a logical fallacy: it's not that China is the most successful at building small drones, and it's not that America need to figure out how to do the same - China IS mass produced small drones, the very concept only exist because Chinese industry exist, because there exist a country on earth with a fully supply chain and have it in the scale China does, the very concept would have never existed without China.
