Canada did indeed produce stuff. But not at scale. In Oz and NZ with a few honourable exceptions the arms industry consisted of “ blokes in sheds”

Had Britain made a serious effort to industrialise the empire prior to 1939 WW2 would have been a lot shorter and the world wouldn’t have blessed with the Bob Semple Tank…

As an interned officer he was presumed to be a gentleman, and was allowed out if the camp provided he promised in writing he’d come back. He signed out, returned, said “ I forgot my hat”, left again and hot footed it to Belfast

Fun fact: when the 23kg drone fails it releases a parachute, but that only limits descent speed to 5 m/s, which is the same as falling on top of you from s height of 1M. That’s if the chute works and and drone remains intact, neither of which are certainties.
But nobody in authority seems to care.

Not seeing any. Suspiciously future tense right now. Bear in mind: we’re struggling to see use cases, so we haven’t even got to economics yet.

Most books written by former SOF people are garbage. Either they hide the truth to keep secrets, or they make stuff up because serving their country by watching a road junction was militarily important but really boring and won’t sell.

What’s especially alarming is that SOF depends on secrecy and operational novelty- getting somewhere that is underguarded and unexpected, and home asap.
But they now have leaders who simply can’t keep their mouths shut, and operators who ignore the rules.
Sooner or later there will a fiasco
