I wanted more insight. Presumably the Ukraine War has taught us about increased tank and ship vulnerability to drones. What about aircraft? I’ve also heard that the ubiquity of drone and satellite surveillance means that infantry units have to operate in smaller stealth formations to avoid being instantly targeted.

TSMC, Taiwanese advanced semi conductors! The US outsourced production for cheaper costs.
