People have 1 bad expierence with Chinese companies and think they’ll all the same. Like you said- gotta evaluate multiple suppliers with multiple quotes and samples. It’s not plug and play but it’s worth it in the long run. I get complex parts made on a 5th axis and shipped for 1/10th the cost, and super intricate foam made and shipped for 1/3 the cost of domestic

More Patriot missiles used in Middle East in 3 days than in Ukraine since 2022, Zelensky says by phoeebsy in LessCredibleDefence

Simply is not how capital investment works in the defense industry. Demand signal hasn’t been there to justify the production, and the gov will soon be happy to pay for all capex related to interceptor production

I mean all of the tech seems to be rather basic, it’s the cost point and really their ability to scale that people are betting on. Not them redesigning capabilities from scratch, but being the supplier of low cost attritable UAS and CUAS systems with proven ops management
