The Mad Mod Pod - Episode 4, Part 2 - The Iran War has exposed how far behind we are on drone tech.

from The Mad Mod Pod · host Ken Thompson

Today on Part 2 of the fourth episode of The Mad Mod Pod with Ken Thompson, we cover how much we ARE NOT properly updating our military stance, and the Iran War just gave us a great display of how far behind we are. We discuss how Ukraine has changed the nature of warfare against Russia with millions of drones, despite having a small fraction of our resources, yet we have done very little to match Ukraine's changes. We have barely updated our military stance since the Iraq War, and because of this, we have too few munitions for peer-level conflict, substandard hardware supply chains, and we are years behind on drone technology.A Ken Thompson Media Production.
