We can devise a plan to recruit four to five hundred experienced technicians in a short period and then meticulously break down the R&D tasks to proceed simultaneously."
Another supplier chimed in: "We can also prepare the materials immediately. The initial production volume will certainly not be too high.
But concentrating manpower and resources to produce a few hundred or even a thousand viable loitering munitions a month later is entirely feasible."

The original R&D team, fully counted, was only about thirty to forty people, half of whom were leaders responsible for administration and management, with an actual handful of people actively engaged in frontline R&D work.
If they could indeed recruit hundreds of engineers with actual R&D capabilities, it could significantly shorten the R&D cycle.
