I am from that side of the world originally and been paying attention to this conflict daily for last 5 years. It is infuriating to see the terrible arrogance of the weapon makers towards hard-won cleverness and ingenuity of Ukranians and even Russians. The era of high cost high tech things like helicopters, tanks and airplanes is clearly in transition to cheap swarms of drones. The famous operation last year where the Ukranians drove trucks to airports, launched drones from them and destroyed a bunch of irreplaceable Russian strategic aviation can be trivially done here at Lewis McChord base and I am sure nobody would be able detect it. The current war in Iran shooting down cheap Shaheds with multimillion dollar Patriots is also insane. This is yet another example of established companies just milking the budgets and not focusing on next conflict.

The sci-fi authors have been writing about this for a while. Artur C. Clarke's "Superiority" comes to mind as exactly that situation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superiority_(short_story) and I remember reading somewhere it used to be mandatory reading in Army education. But of course none of our leaders here read anymore.
