Speaker 1 (00:00):
How advanced do you think America is when it comes
down to drones, whether it's commercial, war, military, How advanced
you think we are? This is America. We built the iPhone,
we built Walmart, We build a lot of technology, We
have a lot of great thanks. What do you think
we rank thirty percent of market fifty twenty percent? What
do you think we are? Like? We're making probably the
best ones for military for warfare. We're seeing Ukraine and Russia.
Did you know sixty to eighty percent of the damages
(00:22):
and casualties in the war between Russia and Ukraine was
due to FPV drones. Do you know eighty three thousand
target strikes that Ukraine did in a single month. Two
thirds of their strikes were through FPV drones. This is today,
modern day warfare. Drones are important. Do you know who
owns apparently seventy up to ninety percent of the production
(00:44):
and drones worldwide. It's a company called DJI. Some call
it dig dig dig all these other ways they pronounce it.
That's to produce a seventy to ninety percent And guess
where they're based out of China and in America. We're
not even competing in this space, I mean at all.
We're talking single digits. We're going to talk about that today.
(01:09):
If you get value out of this bit of give
it comes up and subscribe to the channel. So check
this out. On June sixth, President Trump announces and executive
order that he signed titled Unleashing American Drone dominant on leashing,
don't we do it already? On? We pretty good our drones?
Do you not have any drone companies? We have an
America roughly five hundred, lots of them are startups, but
five hundred drone companies. These five hundred drone companies, how
(01:34):
many total drones do you think we produce in America
per year? To five hundred. If each do ten thousand
a year, that's five million. If each do one thousand
a year, that's five hundred thousand. Do you know how
many we do? We only produce one hundred thousand drones
per year from the five hundred companies. What did you say?
That's right? Only one hundred thousand drones fro five hundred companies.
(01:55):
How's that even possible? You said something earlier that this
company called Dji produce a seven ninety percent the numbers.
Does it really. Let me give you some of the data. Here.
You go with the numbers. It tells us DJI does
seventy to ninety percent of drones worldwide. You know what
number two is. It's a company you've heard of before.
That company is called General Atomics. They produce roughly one
(02:16):
to two percent of the drones and it's military grade.
You know who Number three is Lacky Martin. You know
what they do, less than one percent. Number four is
Northrop Grummen one percent. Then number five is AeroVironment. Y's
what they are, also one percent. So first place is
seventy ninety percent. Everybody else is one percent, one percent,
one percent? Yes, why is that? Why are we not
(02:37):
competing in this space? I mean we do hear about
investors like Peter Thio supporting American drone companies like Andrewo
Unusual Machines. You hear four different companies receive the DIIU
funding for field tests. You got Dragoon and AeroVironment tests
at Alaska, two others tests to drones in Ukraine. Yet
at the same time in Ukraine, you mean to tell
me in drone their warfare innovations. This guy named Alexander
(03:00):
Yakovenko founded TF Drones in response to Ukraine's need for
combat drones. You know how many they produce. They produced
one thousand drones a day a company taf five hundred
dollars each what they produce. Like I said earlier, eighty
percent of Russian casualties were inflicted because of drones. That's
(03:20):
one million people through drones. In June of twenty twenty five,
one hundred plus Ukrainian drones struck deep in Siberia. Think
about sie freezing cold, damaging twenty Russian warplanes, the most
significant attack on russia soul since World War Two. And
Ukrainian drones versus destruction ratio five hundred dollars drone versus
(03:42):
five million dollar Russian TOS one rocket launcher. Think about that,
A five hundred dollars drone blew up a five million
dollar Russian TOS one rocket launcher. Talk about a great
ratio return when you're going against your enemies. Now, keep
in mind this place I'm talking about in Ukraine. It's
a one factory. It's not fifty spots all across Ukraine.
It's one place that produces a thousand a day at
(04:02):
five hundred bucks apiece. And then when you think about
the companies that we produce in America, when they're doing
their testing, one drone Missus Tarket by eighty feet, another
one crash immediate deep upon launch. A third one collided
with a nearby mountain, highlighted major gaps and reliability, navigation
of resilience. And on top of that, in America we
have something called regulation over regulation. Some regulation takes months.
(04:22):
FAA's got to come in and say, well, you know
you can, you got to take your time. So a
lot of the startup projects in America I've been just
dumped and since I don't even want to mess with it,
I'm going abroad. We're going to build this somewhere else
because you're just too slow in America to be paying
attention to this. And in the States, the incentive was
more about building the bigger military drones, not the smaller
ones versus Dji and Ukraine and other places are like no, no, no,
(04:44):
let's focus on the smaller ones. But you hear what
a smaller one did. What a five hundred dollars drone
destroyed a five million dollars Russian cos one rocket launch?
Are you kidding me? And the ones that are producing America,
the pricing is much higher two thousand dollars, three thousand dollars,
four thousand dollars. A company that's working on one right
now called rows, a California startup, it's going to be
around two thousand dollars per drone. They're planning on producing
(05:04):
fifteen ho there drones per month by hand, planning on
scaling to one million per year, which is a good
thing if they're able to get there. You know, it's
crazy when you think about everything that's going on right
now with China, Israel, Kamas, Ukraine, Russia, all these wars,
and we're like, well, that's not going to happen to America.
But then reality is, if you go back to nineteen
forty four, okay, we're talking about World War two, do
you know we were producing one B twenty four bomber
(05:27):
an hour six fifty a month. Look at the picture.
What you see in the picture, We produce one of
those every fifty five minutes, six hundred and fifty of
those per month. Why we were ready, by the way,
we didn't have five factories today like the General Dynamics,
and you know, a Northrope Grumman and Ray found and
that was it. We have fifty companies competing against each other.
And America had this four willow run plant in nineteen
(05:50):
forty towards like We're going to get this stunt innovation, speed, mobilization,
wartime mentality. And now it's over regulation. It's taking thirteen
years to build a ship, it's taking years to produce product.
We no longer had the urgency that we had before.
So I'm kind of glad that the President has something
called unleashing American drone dominance. Just imagine, say somebody decides
(06:14):
to attack us. You look up on the sky. We
have twenty massive drones. You see three hundred thousand drones
up on the sky coming like birds flocking, and they
just go to different properties and homes and military basis,
hitting a plane here, hitting a tank here, hitting a
property here, hitting a base over here, three hundred thousand
of them. What do we do? How do we fight
against it? Are we ready for it? I saw a
video where Morgan Freeman was the President and his bodyguard
(06:37):
is Gerard Butler, and you see these drones all of
a sudden coming up. He grabs the president throws him
in the water goes underwater, so the drones don't get him.
You're watching a movie like, oh, this is just a
movie like this. It's already here, literally like this, it's
already here. The only question is are we the ones
ready to protect ourselves? Or is it happening around the world.
(06:58):
I hope we pay more attention these drones because warfare
has changed in a major way. If you got value
out of this vide give it a thumbs up and
subscribe to the channel. And if you got value out
of this video, I did another video many years ago
titled the History of Taxes and War. If you've never
seen it, very interesting. Click here to watch it. Take
you everybody, buth bye blah bye.
