I think the weakness of this argument is that “domestic American drones” will just be using parts, or entire drones, made in China

“Ukraine are producing two-and-a-half drones a day now.“ What is that supposed to mean? A drone has a lot of parts. I can make 2 1/2 drones a day if I have the parts.

Ukraine announced a two weeks ago that they built 2.5 million drones last year. Maybe that number got garbled somewhere?
Ukraine is producing way more that that: they're up to millions per year: https://thedefensepost.com/2024/10/03/ukraine-produce-millio...
