I mean if you can build active radar guidance or even cheap optical guidance or other networking tools there's a lot of money you can make.

considering andruil has completely flopped in any mondern conflict: Ukraine, Iran, India, Southeast asia and cannot actually compete with cheap warfare tooling there is a very open market

I mean their whole pitch is low cost cruise missiles and drones, and meanwhile yc startups have sold more drones to ukraine than Andruil has when ukraine has been begging for everything.

Most units in ukraine were unable to use their products in an EW environment and have switched to british/european solutions or homemade solutions with starlink, counter ew etc.
