In, in Ukraine, they make 10,000 drones a day, a day. We have nowhere near that manufacturing capacity here at home. So we need to ramp up that manufacturing capacity in shipbuild. As another example, We in Philadelphia ship build shipyard. We build one ship a year, we need to go to 20, which we're doing over the next five years. So we've let ourselves become more dependent on others and we've let ourselves locked into looking backwards at Last year's or 30 year old platforms as opposed to embracing this next generation of technology when it comes to the next generation technology. (01:59–02:07)
