It’s way too late at this point. Two decades of insane US foreign policy have forced China, Russia and Iran into a partnership, so instead of taking on China they’d be taking on all of Asia, and that’s just not possible.
Yeah , the big advantage of drones was that they were supposed to be cheap , but the defense companies fixed that a long time ago.
There’s also been bloat from only ever using them in the war on terror, against farmers and shepherds who could never shoot back, but mostly it was the profit margin. Which is why US drones now cost 30 million to 100+ million , so expensive that you can’t afford to lose them.
It’s going to try, but it’s not 1992 anymore, there are other centers of power and financing in the world.
