What was said
"So much has changed in the world of defense technology with drones in just the last 6 months that it's unclear whether a fifth generation jet is really worth the cost anymore."
Zeihan suggested that rapid drone technology advances in the past six months have fundamentally changed defense calculus, potentially making expensive fifth-generation fighter jets obsolete. This represents a significant shift in military strategic thinking that could reshape procurement priorities globally.
