Waar de kop gaat over het verlies van een miljarden drone die vanaf 52,000 feet in De straat van Hormuz verdween, gaat het artikel meer over dat de drone 'was originally envisaged as a lower-cost sidekick for crewed platforms'.
Iets wat steeds meer op gaat vallen bij Amerikaans materiaal. Een Amerikaanse oorlog wordt al snel heel duur.
Dat in tegenstelling tot ontwikkelingen in de praktijk (Oekraïne).

Roman elites drank from leaded cups because it made water sweeter. Radiation was thought at one time to have healing properties, so people would add uranium to their drinking water. Glowing dishes are still a collectors item. After the discovery of x-rays, shoe stores started installing them and using them on kids feet to size shoes.

We look back at all of this and think, "how could people have been so incompetent back then?" Some of these things caused irreparable harm in their generation, some continue to cause harm today almost 100 years later.
If you wonder that, look at the whole #LLM thing and you have your answer.

stuck between a belligerent Israel that has no qualms about using violence to achieve its strategic aims
and a desperate Iran lashing out against U.S. allies in the region as it tries to survive.
"No matter which side prevails, Gulf states have realized how vulnerable they are despite U.S. security guarantees.
“In either scenario, I don’t think that the Gulf states will be happy with the outcome,”
says Kareem …
