How $500 Drones Are Forcing America to Reinvent Its Military | ROP #59

A handful of $500 drones recently caused $5 billion in damage to a fleet of Russian strategic bombers. This is the new reality of warfare, and America is not ready. In this episode, CX2 founder Nathan explains how the cheap drone revolution is forcing the US to completely reinvent its military playbook. We dive deep into the invisible battlefield of electronic warfare, why our multi-million dollar missiles are now being defeated by simple GPS jammers, the secret strategy of "shooting the archer, not the arrow," and how a new generation of founders is building the decentralized, autonomous systems that will define the future of American power.
