Really do something so revolutionary, but the next round of financing cannot be involved because the two conditions that i just mentioned are not fulfilled, and this some kind of er trap for us until well we are working on it yes now we have several interested er former top employees of er military companies of large well you know yes that Silicon Valley it grew including from military projects and there is an office and raysion and honeywell and others of companies that started from the valley and draw talent from the same place where google and apple draw them, but uh, former officials of these companies are already looking closely at ukrainian projects in order to go there as aah from everyone to a consultant who will help them do something that will be able to be sold on global markets, this is the first and second, we already have e e examples of cooperation between Small Companies that produce nondrones and separately, for example , solutions for drones with companies that produc
Be mastered, but this one we are now talking about days and weeks versus er months and years if we are talking about, for example, f16 us we will use pilots whom we have trained for several years and now we will train them for several months but we have well not in us but in any army that has started it is possible to use more modern equipment, firstly, it can be adopted very quickly, and secondly, it has almost no opposition from the enemy. Limitations of technological our of the enemy, yes, they have the opportunity to buy these drones and produce them, and even rockets, but in very limited quantities. And in our country, when we do not have an economic and technological blockade, and we have the help of our partners, we can produce it.
