This field moves so quickly. Is this mostly pork or a strategic "they won't be useful, but building up development and production capacity is the goal" kind of thing? Edit: Foreign perspective: Saab (Sweden) is pitching dron

I disdain this type of comment. It's (ironically?) deeply anti-intellectual. Its only purpose is to suppress thoughts.

This is paid very well via Twitch/Amazon. A few hours ago I saw (on Twitch) some guy live stream his helicopter piloting over a rural picturesque village in Sweden while shouting loud cheers to "chat".
