How can lower the price of drones? outsource it to China?

>$240m
peanuts for the us millitary. non news

it's corporate welfare

cost != price.

You probabley think that Russia doesnt already know everything we do too right?

Who do you think sells weapons to the US?
Who do you think benefits from the "war"?

Answer to both questions is the US

These droned could be built for a tenth of the price, but the American military is a teat that spews money to whoever wants it. They overpay for everything

>240 million just for one drone
This is why we will never have a war between super powers again, no one can afford it.

In WW2 it was normal to lose 20 bombers in one raid a day, imagine that today with each bomber costing 2 billion

big governaments get what tecnology they want from other anyway.
the only ones who would win with tecnology being open sourced is small country who would not normaly be able to compete with big bullies like USA, Russia and China, so its a win

also pretty sure what he wants does not mean actualy giving away the designs but having particular industries making it, competing with each other. of course these industries wont give away their designs as this would make them less competitive.
only worry is a company selling to both side. but i am pretty sure this already happens.
i bet all the reverse engineering is actualy employes selling the data for bribes, not actual spionage.
so there is no diference here always. only the good stuff of making things cheaper

1. Pretty sure the constant threat of nuclear holocaust is why we don't see superpowers duking it out in the open, not single drones that cost relatively nothing compared to the real heavy hitters.
2. The superpowers of the world are constantantly at war. There's a war going on right now. Nukes changed the game, war isn't just about blowing up the other guy, it's about making them into your own advantage. Propaganda, internal sabotage, political manipulation, economic power struggles, and gathering all information you can is how war is fought now. They just weren't as big a factor in the past because the internet wasn't around to make it so effective.

>$240 millions
Who cares when you print your own money?

Keeping them by not flying in unauthorized foreign air spaces might help

Most of them are made in Israel.

I could hear the US american brains explode all over here!

>outsource it to China?
it's the american way. they've already sold out most the country's industries to dog eating communists because paying americans a wage that's poverty level was still too high for these fucks. the US might as well just hand them all their military secrets (those secrets that weren't hacked out of them via pajeet-tier phishing scams and security lapses). god bless america.

>outsource it to China?
It's getting really hard to dodge these baits lately.

because the board is being infested with dog eating communists. best to just shit up the thread. they hate it.

>tech board
>discussing anything but chinese tech where most of the innovations come from
baka senpai

>where most of the innovations come from
that would be Israel, Shalom goy

>Israel
sold out to the chinese 10 years ago, mohamed ali

>most of the innovations come from
sorry, commie. those innovations still come from the west. remember your place in the world, commie; they're a mass manufacturing slave state ready to suck on any western cock willing to throw money around. when the communists are not stealing tech from global competitors, they're licensing it from global competitors. china will forever be our dumping ground for waste, and source of dirt cheap labour and manufacturing. china should be thankful they're still not pulling carts around using donkeys and riding everywhere on bicycles. wasn't that long ago. we can send the entire nation back to that state in a lunch break, that how little power china has in the grand scale of things.

>outsource it to China?

Unironically yes. They already have all the data and blue prints, there's no reason to hide anything from the common drones any more.

>muh military secrets

Like its actually relevant when economics is more powerful. The only real argument for military secrecy in 2019 is to support a local workforce which is the only reason shit like ITAR exist anyhow.

It doesn't actually cost that much, it's just how the government funnels money into other things off the books

Realest most based and red pilled post.
MMT just shows that military spending is just a function of job creation.

Sole purpose of those is to make right people stupid rich.

No. Cost+ is the only way to deliver the needed quality.

sure thing pal. Your standard of living is where they are because the Chinese hasn't figured out how to mass produce the things you are producing yet. Once that happens it's your turn to make "artisan" shoes.

Yea. They will keep mass producing stuffs even the robots that you think will replace cheap labor. Imagine that, even your robots lose to cheap Chinese robots.

Keep yapping. That's all you can do. 2025 cannot come soon enough ;)

>China will forever be our dumping ground for waste, and source of dirt cheap labour
And soon he US will be the same way. Since you know, Chinese citizens can become US citizens. Either through immigration, which your corporate world loves, or by marrying a US citizen, which your people love as well.

this is antisemitic.

Jews always did this I mean, selling to both sides.

lil mutt take a wrong turn home? so sad!

Well Iran now has that drone so great job protecting all your hardware Amos

>program matured under obama
>looks like a big black flying cock

I can't believe Trump spent $150k for a twitter dot com stunt

>20000$ toilet
>mil secret
could it just be Jewish contractors? NAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH

Help, the front of this overpriced drone looks like a massive nose.

This. Imagine if the other side had developed nukes first and used them. Imagine China having everything the US and UK or hell even Russia has. We'd all be dead by Tuesday.
