So the government is going out to buy warfare equipment and is shocked that those with the best warfare equipment are engaged in warfare.

I mean.. when your air force consists of two Cessnas and a parachute, you can’t be too picky.

I mean everything they have for offer is combat tested. Tested on civilian women and children but clearly effective.

We absolutely can manufacture our own drones. This is ridiculous

This is not something new. They made our current generation of miniature UAV drones and a previous generation of helmet.

This is the unfortunate thing with public procurement, maybe the tender spec could include not being actively being involved in genocide claims? I know for the new tap on / tap off tender the spanish company that won the tender was a bit wary working with defense forces around the world in case it made them look bad.

Lots of comments here seem ok with this. There are countless countries that can supply drones that don’t have a history of antagonism towards our government, and are not currently butchering children in a concentration camp.

Is it not a security threat to deploy technology-heavy surveillance and defense equipment supplied by a known bad international actor? I’m pretty sure we would not buy them from a Chinese firm.

Name me the ethical arms dealing country you’d like to buy from, who does not participate in any actions that are objectionable or does business with other regimes that are objectionable.

Well in fairness their products are tried and tested, and tested and tested….

One side effect of the war with various Arab nations is that Israel, for all it’s evil has developed some of the best military/defence/offence/surveillance (covering all my bases here) equipment on the market.
This is good that the DOD are entertaining these bids because it portrays a genuine desire to invest in the Defence Forces. However, I do know that at the end of the day the DOD hate spending money on the DF, so they’ll pick the cheapest option

They do have experience killing people. Which I guess is what you want from an arms supplier.
