They're calling for doubling down on sea-born drone fleets. They think that's the future it seems and that lines up with high talk of filling the Taiwan straits with drones to deny Beijing. Perhaps they think they can get around the problems of spending human lives and blood in increasing unpopularity of imperialism by moving the work to disposable machines that won't create any backlash at home just jobs doing vidya game like killing of others.
