Episode Details

The Pentagon is betting big on cheap, mass-produced drones with a $1.1 billion competition called “Drone Dominance,” aiming to deploy 300,000 units at $5,000 each—inspired by battlefield success in Ukraine and the Middle East. Startups like Skycutter and Neros, led by a 23-year-old ex-drone racer, are racing to win contracts, while skeptics warn of logistical nightmares and rushed adoption. This isn’t just defense tech—it’s a high-stakes reality show where drones could redefine warfare like tanks and planes once did.
