  Prescient. This film predated the Ukraine war, and it felt like fiction six years ago. This is absolutely coming. The government is concerned about who might print a 3D gun, but this is the real danger.

    The Ukraine war started in 2014.

      True, but I think OP's core message is that the movie pre-dated the broader invasion and subsequent drone-heavy combat.

Except the Ukraine kind of went out and built it. People in this thread keep talking about DJI, and off the shelf US drones.

It is a solved problem. The interesting bits are the software and even those are "easy" -- more so with "ai" in the aid of development. Ukraine isn't paying for "testing" either, they just send things to the front and try them against Russians.
