A lot of the war developments have been unexpected and would have been difficult to plan for. I mean
1 - Putin was thinking of invading. I thought US/Biden would say no or well attack you but it was more I'd prefer you didn't but won't do anything so invasion.
2 - People thought Ukraine would collapse but no
3 - Tanks and artillery - people thought that would be the thing but no
4 - Drones render tanks almost useless
5 - Starlink becomes a thing on naval drones. Also not expected
6 - Become used on things like the Hornet AI drone made by Eric Schmidt - not expected
7 - Musk/Trump recent flip not wholly expected
And many more
All true.
But having full control over your weapons system stack makes every one of those less of a problem.
And watch what happens when China decides it is time to use its backdoors.
