Cheap Suicide Drones Change Attack Economics

- Benny points to Mexican-cartel drone incidents near El Paso and Shahidi suicide drones costing ~$20,000 as examples of the risk calculus.
False Flags Could Be Used To Escalate Conflict

- He references historical fog-of-war examples and warns bad actors could exploit attention during a hot conflict.
Boost Coastal Surveillance And Coast Guard Capacity
