This is key to remember: Ukraine will design ops that play to its strengths/russian weakness and within its limitations. If the SBU had a blank check, its approach would be different.

Your key takeaway from the brilliant Ukraine attack with small drones into Russia shouldn’t be “wow, small drones make it so easy to score huge hits,” it should be “wow, Ukrainians are insanely good at covertly planning and executing extraordinarily difficult missions of which drones are one part”.

The lesson is attack their weakness with your strength.
Everything else has to disappear and all the money needs to go to Peter Thiel-centered orgs.
Its an emerging tech we need to rapidly explore, understand, and take advantage of - but its not like either side is using mini drones because they're the best weapon for every job! Its just the best one they *have*
This was an incredibly well designed, well planned op, that took months of incredibly dangerous, delicate smuggling work - anything but "perfect" likely meant abject failure
Would have been a lot easier to just sling some missiles instead!
