This contract is for cutting edge unmanned fighter jets. Other countries don't make them at all!
- modeless 3y agoProbably because it's way better to make swarms of dirt cheap drones
- throwup238 3y agoNo one makes swarms in any real sense of the word, either. These unmanned Wingman jets will be the first in the world to do that too.

- throwup238 3y agoThose are cheap consumer drones not “swarms”, cheap airplanes, and drones from other countries. If they could make an F16 equivalent combat drone, they’d jump at the chance.
- blackeyeblitzar 3y agoI meant other countries make the plane portion (not Anduril’s unmanned controls) that General Atomics is responsible for. Predators and Reapers are very expensive.
