Consider the battle of Midway: the US had to use outdated aircraft to defend the island and attack the carriers. Virtually all aircraft defending Midway were shot down by the superior Zero as were the torpedo bombers attacking the carriers. Over 100 aircraft and their pilots were lost with almost no losses to the enemy. The US torpedoes also ran deep and often detonated early or failed to explode on impact. The manufacturing facility was basically considered a "jobs program" and blamed "operator error." It was staunchly and stubbornly defended by the Bureau of ordinance and a senator from the torpedo manufacturing district. Of over 1400 torpedoes fired in 1942, only 109 ships were sunk. The fix was quite easy but didn't make it to the fleet until late 1943. Defense industries often need "disruption" and Palmer Luckey is doing a great service by providing that disruption.

Everything he describes has previously been researched, designed, and built by Turkish defense firms. The TB2 Bayraktar drone, which saved both Azerbaijan and Ukraine, is the most successful UCAV-armed drone ever created. It has been shipped to over 30 nations, and the most recent naval version, the TB3, is expected to sell even more than the TB2, which has so far eliminated around $1.9 billion of Soviet/Russian weaponry (see The Second Nagorno-Karabahk war) and an average of 9 to 75 combatants and/or terrorists every day since 2020. The same business, Baykar Industries, is also preparing to mass produce its MIUS II (HALE) UCAV and Akinci drones. Turkish companies ARES and ASELSAN (strongly advise to acquire shares) have already produced a mini submarine and AI fast attack boat. There is also a Turkish company called Albayraklar which has designed artificial stingrays that lay dormant on the seabed and activate once a warship or submarine passes by-attaching to its hull or propellers before igniting. My recommendation to Palmer (and Raytheon and Boeing) is to link with our Turkish friends and begin developing some of the greatest defense products ever seen.

You really want to know alot of what happens in society "Rand Corporation".

The Pentagon funded a report that detailed how to drastically cut oil consumption and increase efficiency 20 years ago with the current technology available at the time . That would have collapsed the price of oil and natural gas . putin would have never had the money to fund the war but that would have taken profits from oil and weapons corporations and wallstreet . so the Devil of capitalism at any cost won out .
