I would prefer we not have homemade cruise missiles all over the place. The people who need them can make them after all.

Apparently the hobby drone racers are doing that now: https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2024-04-05/how-a-small-c...
And it's certainly not just a recent Ukraine related thing either: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/boffin-builds-backyard-missile...

When it comes to getting the message across, never underestimate the bandwidth of a W84-equipped GLCM.
Sure, it's getting increasingly easier to just buy China made for ITAR-protected products. Night vision cameras, thermals, drones. They're fine, way more user friendly, often cheaper too.

There are now even Gen3 night vision tubes being made in China.
They aren’t quite as good as US made ones yet, but it’s getting pretty close.

Congratulations, you are why we can't have nice things.
