    In Russia, and again, some of the technology, the genesis of it was the Shahid drone. It's interesting in the Western media now, when you're talking about what's happening in Kiev, because of the lack of Pact-3 interceptors, which are the Patriot interceptor, which are made in America. You know, two to five million dollars a missile takes a year to make each missile. The idea that they could manage several global conflicts using these things as the primary shield was ludicrous in the first place. And what's also interesting is how Gulf states were put on a priority list to get these things, and Mr. Zelensky was left with his hands in his pockets. Ultimately, Russia is going to learn the lessons as well, and it's going to apply them in a disproportionately stronger fashion, because it has the capacity to do so. The Garand 3, 4, and 5, the current ones can travel 500 kilometers an hour, right? They don't want this war to end. They're addicted to this war. They don't care if Russia is now hitting the rear supply lines of Ukraine. Russia has destroyed Ukraine's steel industry, which is causing its economy to contract by 10%. Russia's learned from experience, and so has Ukraine. And that's part of the problem. Why are the Russians so good at it? Russia's making thousands and thousands of these drones, you know, every month. 300 Ukrainian locomotives plus have been destroyed by these jet drones now. 300? Yeah. flip side of what you're saying about the success of Russia's drones. And it's again drones, and it's these, I suppose, the genesis of a lot of the Duran drones, the Garan, as it's known in Russia.
