Wird wieder Zeit für einen guten, alten Song: Drohnen 👏 halten 👏 keine 👏 Räume. Im Ernst: Neben den Lobby-Stanzen sitzen viele auf einem anderen Irrtum auf: Dem „sauberen“, verlustfreien Gefecht dank einer Drohnen„armee“. Das lässt sich auch besser verkaufen als die

It seems relatively obvious that spending targets are dictated less by capability or policy formulation, and rather more by meeting the demanded NATO target of 3.5%. Which all on its own leaves room for speculation on whether said target will actually be met by hard spending.
