Copying the Iranian and Russian drone design🤔 fast tracked months before the war starts. Seems like a useful tool if you’re planning a lot of false flag attacks 🤣👍🏻.

“Mass and Reach” sounds like the desperately needed Henry Kaiser building ship after ship after ship after ship.

All highly imperfect but highly functional.

This is a remarkable success story, but I it is not as applicable to many acquisitions as is implied. It shows the power of low cost meshed items… which begs the question of what large exquisite items could be replaced by proliferated low cost items.

I would offer that a potentially overlooked aspect is the non-materiel, non-programmatic piece, but the change in culture. Reading the article it is clear that not only did higher level organizations like DOD and CENTCOM establish new organizations, but those organizations worked horizontally to accelerate mission accomplishment. This cultural change is positive in so many ways; that's how stovepipes get broken down.

That’s a great point, there is a cultural piece to all of this.
