I have a feeling tens of thousands of drones would be a better investment if your concern is Russia vs NATO. But if it’s just a business reacting to popular sentiment then it’s a fine business strategy I guess. Or just useful spin / wealthy owners paranoia.

The people in a position to buy thousands of drones and the people in a position to build emergency supermarkets aren't the same people. And regardless, if you do find yourself in a war--especially if it's a defensive one--you need both.

Don’t worry, most countries are buying tens of thousands of drones. That investment is happening. (Source: I work in this sector)

(Worth noting: Your comment sounds like “I have a feeling fixing (critical bug 1) would be a better investment than (fixing critical bug 2)”. You fix both.)

I don't want to fix any legacy code. I want a design that doesn't contain the bugs.

Attacking a distributed grid would probably not be cost effective.

		A distributed grid is not a one-and-done solution to everything. Supply chain can stop for a number of reasons, not just electricity.
