Q Thanks so much for jumping on. Uh, have you been tracking the Ukraine story closely? Uh, any insights there, anything in the portfolio that's, uh, at all relevant in the defense tech world? Uh, do you expect a response from the US government, or guidance, or change to any strategies? Really, any takes on that?
A I mean, first shit, what a, what a time to be alive. I mean, uh, you know, I'm sure your, your, your Twitter feeds and, and your, uh, group chats were blown up, uh, pun intended over the weekend. Um, I mean, it's pretty crazy. I mean, let's be honest, like first, I'm not shocked that, that the Ukrainians did this. Uh, I mean, the execution seemed to be flawless from what we can pull from, from open source Intel. I do think though, I mean, again, it's not a surprise that the Ukrainians have been mastering drone warfare for the last Handful of years. And, you know, you want to call it that, you know, they called it spider web. Like this was their, this was their Trojan horse. This was their, you know, Israeli beeper. Um, and, and the outcome is, is, is, is pretty impressive to be honest. I mean, what, what, what, from the outside looking in, like the Russians woke up, uh, over the weekend and they thought they were getting their four dollar team orders. And what did they get? They got a thousand, you know, FPV drones, you know, blowing them to smithereens. So it's pretty impressive. I mean, my, my, my takeaways from this are really twofold.
