“Drones cost a tiny fraction of advanced weapons like fighter jets. “If one gets blown up you can take another one off the shelf and keep sending them against the Russians,” said Stukalov. “That is what the future battlefield is becoming.”

Yet Canada is committed to spending billions on F35s. When one goes down, there isn’t another one. Despite 30+years nurturing Canadian military aircraft, or maybe because of it, I ask: if the future is drones, why spend money on the past? If we spent billions on drones, what could we NOT do?
