The wave headlights off rushes, special task force tries to sneak us post ukrainian spots as a loss. This time the cover all the pitch black nights was not enough. We pick up on a cluster munitions heading right away just in time. The for our crew makes the rest of the way on thoughts sprinting across every open space.

Busy street journal, he says washington simply doesnt produce the cheap and simple drones that can actually needs. The u. S. Defense tech firms have spent months testing their drones and ukraine, but some now leave their drones in storage because they couldnt perform perfectly a new cranes, harsh battlefields conditions. Theyre too expensive to deploy at scale. U. S. Companies dont mass produce the cheap expendable drones ukrainian troops need their advance drones start at around 16000. 00. International consultants, earle rasmussen echoed the idea adding that the production of drones suitable for ukraine is of no benefits for the us. The ukraine has no chance to win this past, but 0 and for long it really is a few minutes harry and crisis, so many. So theres a big need for drones. Us just doesnt make drones to that. A lot of our Drone Development was all done during the occupation and interact him as well as the chemist in use. And then those 10 types conditions. Thats not necessarily what ukraine means. So you, youre really looking at a complete new redesign that would be necessary and, and i, i just dont see the, the desire within the public or within corporations. And probably not within the government the other than the, the state department and the white house to put the investment in the costs that that would be required and provide the production line provide the, the scale of the capability that would be required and necessary.

No. Was sharif, great to have you on the program with us a new care take our Prime Minister and freedom collaboration are being celebrated. Talk to us about how significant the stay is for pakistan, a good evening. They should then thank you for having me on your program. Well as a, as, as, as the day that brought us into this world as an independent nation. This is a very significant do fox style and particularly so when we are going to a very critical phase of fox stands of present history. So its, its a, its a very important we have been going through some tough economic situations, partly because of the globe institution. And also partly because of some of the things that we have done. Now since the use of the guys we did this chapter into our 76 here to existence, i think that we still have a Great Potential as a country. We have our challenges, there is absolutely no doubt about that. And when can found them. But when you look at the protection of this nation, but 250000000, a population in boston majority of which is you and a vast majority of which is a gain i t a name to which is looking forward to jump into the modern word one can not stop, its himself from being locked a mistake and looking forward to the time. Well, what results would you say have been achieved . And how would you describe the countries decades of independence when the, you know, if you go to the history of bucks on bucks, done, started off competitively, much better in combat is into Southern Nations in the region. And by the late sixtys, they cost to the 1st 2 decades. We would significantly, i heard from the other nation that the region and doing well because of, with just one problem that why there was we cannot make advancement of the distribution of wealth. We would not really good at that and that created a kind of credit divide in the society. They could all make all the tasks divide of a they each was able to capture most stuff uh uh, most of the fruits of the progress. And thats brought in a change in the shape of mr. The got a duplicate of who was selected either in the 19 or the 19 seventys. But before that bux, im renting towards would india . Uh, the neighborhood of good richard type, very different country nations from the 1st date, even the division it says spend it happened in 1947 under the uh, branch it british control. Uh, well talk to the fair a and a lot of things. And a lot of, uh, money that would have come to backs done was not allowed to come to back stand at that point in time. But still after the 1st due date that gets bucks done was going my much back to the india. But after the 2nd war of a bunch of bucks done. Uh, maybe the east fax done. Uh, came up as an independent country and the remaining bucks done then progress towards its own under the democratic government, led by mr. But. Uh huh. The, the customer. Right, right. Uh say the celebration is that are taking place today. Do you see an echo of that past colonial rule, and what would you say are the, the main challenges facing pakistan since the british departure . What are the challenges that box fischbach started today out, entirely different from the challenges that face boxed on at the time of its independence. I think theyve got at that time, it was going to be an exist spencer challenge. But today, you know, boxed on has its challenges, but as i said, it has Great Potential also. Uh, just look at the you that is available to box stuff just to get the fact that its boxed on uh has uh just the video quite the exports and does speak today. A way they know they shot more than 150. And in the even more than double up in front of that sense. So the potential that bucks time has if you compare that with the challenges that facebook started today because of a global economy, that sparks down is very, very, a very, very much into i think those challenges are much less than the challenges that face test at the time that bucks them became independent, but then did our solution and economic challenges that the have to deep enough sense. And unfortunately that is one area on which we have not really done very well.
