I wonder if US defense could modernize so quickly under comparable conditions of urgency and constraint. There’s something to be said for not letting the best conceivable get in the way of the best obtainable.
The German government made a point of saying they sent “a significant amount” of Skynex ammunition in their release. I should have included the official manufacturer video in the article. It’s an impressive system; to watch a swarm of 6 drones drop from the sky simultaneously.
