Yeah nah, we really need this tech to target kiwis on their morning commute? 😂

Jordan Bell2026-06-22T19:40:59.000Z

Defence Force playing with toys from Iran wars while we can't afford a new hospital. Great priorities.

Hayden Kelly2026-06-22T19:54:59.000Z

Jordan Bell2026-06-22T19:27:59.000Z

Maven targeting tech? Just another way for the US to spy on us and sell our data. Sheeple wake up.

Worked on similar tech in defence industry. It's not magic, it's just expensive marketing for politicians

Casey Adams2026-06-22T20:54:59.000Z

oh please, peacekeeping missions? ask the families in gaza how that worked out

Drew Parker2026-06-22T20:23:59.000Z

Cool cool cool, so when do we get the robot dogs to patrol beaches? Asking for a friend

Sage Lawson2026-06-22T20:38:59.000Z

Honestly, if it means less NZDF personnel in danger, I'm open to exploring it. But bloody hell, let's see the cost first

Read the article properly. 'Not ruling out' = we already have it. Typical PR spin
