[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The US military is the most advanced and powerful the world has ever seen, by an order of magnitude. We can build a burger king anywhere in the world in 24 hours. If we thought these needed to come down it would be like swatting a fly. That they're leaving them up says government incompetence, aka departments failing to coordinate with each other. Think horses not zebras etc.

Or it's aliens. [/quote]

The US military is far behind the Chinese when it comes to drones. [/quote]

Yes I'm sure you know everything our military has developed. They told you, personally. [/quote]

No, but I am pretty familiar with the supply chain for that technology. This is one area where the US is far behind across the board. [/quote]

DP but do you think the US military is relying on public supply chains for its drone technology? It is not.

I have no idea who is further ahead on drone tech but I would not presume to know based on publicly available info, especially as the US has a strong interest in concealing it's military tech and China has reasons to flaunt theirs. For instance the recent telecom hack by China was pretty brazen and served as a way to alert the US and others to how far China has come in their hacking ability. For China that's a win. If the US did exactly the same thing and was caught in the same way, it would be viewed as an international embarrassment.[/quote]

The talent pool for people who engineer and make these things is known. And it is not in the US.

The telecom hack is different. We have that talent pool here. But we do not have the drone talent pool, we just don’t. [/quote]
