And yet Iran seems to have enough parts for its drones!
@RightAndyRepublican2wks2W
That’s like saying an F1 team can use parts from go karts.
@RavenBradyLibertarian2wks2W
If they can make parts for drones - and space rockets - can they not make parts for planes and helicopters?
@RightAndyRepublican2wks2W
Probably depends if they made it originally. They made their drones and rockets end to end from scratch. There will be very specific tolerances - precision engineering.
You get the exact metal composition and engineering slightly off in a part for an F16 it’s going to crash. It’s not a lawnmower.
