The pendulum of mil-tech has moved solidly to "many & cheap" and away from "few & expensive", so I personally hope that Anduril isn't stupid enough to produce "anything like the B2, etc"
That said, they are definitely competing against nuclear subs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgNCHZBJxsM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgNCHZBJxsM
- bgwalter 1y agoI think many & cheap drones or whatever can be shot down with an increasing array of anti-drone technology (which is often a repackaging of the Oerlikon gun that was already used in the Gepard tank ages ago). In Israel things that got through from Iran were the ballistic missiles. If the drones turn into Skynet with hundreds of thousands of mini drones, we are doomed or probably new anti loitering drone treaties will emerge. Recall how nervous Russia already was about the claimed threat of stationing the Tomahawk missile in Ukraine. There is an advantage for having few and large things that each side can monitor. That's why nuclear bombers were supposed to be parked in the open for observation by the START treaty.
