Yeah nah, 'not buying any killer drones' but we all know they're just saying that so we don't freak out. Classic deflection.
mate, it's called not scaring the taxpayers. Standard op
Worked with these things in the industry. Trust me, they're already testing them behind closed doors. The public doesn't need to know everything.
What a load of shit. Spending millions on 'studying' drones while our soldiers go without proper gear?
lol cope, it's called public relations. They'll buy em eventually just watch
tbh i don't trust the govt with a remote control car let alone killer drones

Good. Last thing we need is more automated weapons. Can't even keep our roads safe, let alone trust a drone to make life or death decisions.
That's what they said about that spy base in Waihopai. Then bam, big brother is watching.
Bit dramatic everyone. They're just testing tech like every other military does. Chill.
ur joking right? u trust politicians with this? 😂
ffs they can't even fix the leaks in the barracks, but sure let's get flashy drones. Priorities much?
So they're not buying any... just borrowing? Developing? What's the real story here
