Problem with low frequency is that it penetrates everything and has the longer range. In urban environments the spectrum will just become congested to the point of it being useless (this already happens with 2.4GHz in big cities)

Also it is not just making a game engine but you also have to build some kind of a editor, script/animation tooling, plug-in support, etc. Basically if you are big enough that you can make your own engine the engine also has to be usab

And Finland is already spending between 2.5 to 3.5% of its GDP on defense already (depends on how one calculates the actual cost of conscription). Finland joining nato will not increase its defense spending in the long term

And yet somehow it is fine for Russia to develop its own hypersonic missiles (well at least try to) and deploy them to kalingrad where they are just as close most Central European capitals as such weapons in Finland would be to Petersburg.
