Lockheed Martin wishes they were responsible for the drones Ukraine is using.
Ukraine is innovating independently. After the war ends a silver lining for Ukraine is that they will have a proven robust weapons industry.
That silver lining is nothing in the face of the suffering caused by Russia but still. Sadly Russia’s attack on Ukraine proves such industries are still needed. (For now)
Nah Ukraines drones are cheap and effective, I think the Lockheed Martin upper management would start puking in horror if someone lower down went over their head and started selling drones like that to the US military. So much potential profit lost to a lack of price gouging or regular software updates or a whole interconnected smart system thats needed for the drones to even work and mostly just gets in the way.

True. We’ll call that silver lining number 2. The weakening of the US military industrial complex.
