Uncertainty over NZDF drone directives despite Kiwi troops helping blow them up…

Grace Patel2026-07-08T03:21:50.000Z

So we're helping blow up drones but can't decide on our own drone policy? Classic NZDF faffing about while the Aussies get on with it. 🤷‍♂️

Just another reason our defence force is a joke. Spend billions on nothing and then can't even figure out if we want drones or not. Useless.

mate, you're missing the point! If it goes BOOM it's worth every cent! LEAVE THE BOYS ALONE!

Blake Turner2026-07-08T04:12:50.000Z

Blowing up drones sounds like fun but where's the cost benefit analysis? Typical defence spending with no clear strategy.

facts. especially when we've got housing and health falling apart but sure, drone party.

THIS IS THE BEST NEWS ALL WEEK!!! Kiwi troops BLASTING drones down under! Finally some action! Who cares about directives when you can watch things go BOOM! 🇳🇿🇦🇺🔥

your enthusiasm is cute but this isn't a fireworks show. It's our tax dollars going up in smoke.

Rowan Blake2026-07-08T05:02:50.000Z

it's called a 'directive' not a 'suggestion' guys maybe our leadership should look up the definition lmao

Grace Patel2026-07-08T05:22:50.000Z

righto, blow up all the money and call it training. Peak defence logic.

Aria Wilson2026-07-08T05:15:50.000Z

Wonder how much this little exercise cost taxpayers vs the actual benefit. More questions than answers as always 😒

My mate's cousin is in the NZDF and he reckons the drone program is a white elephant. But what would I know, I just catch the bus.

Blake Turner2026-07-08T06:00:50.000Z

white elephant? More like a paper plane in a hurricane. At least the Aussies know what they want.

Mia Carter2026-07-08T05:55:50.000Z

Right, so we send blokes to blow up drones but can't even agree on drone rules back home. Seems about right for 'pragmatic' NZ.
