If Europe doesn't build stuff like this then it will probably just become poorer and less relevant, while the US and China push forward and dominate the world with their technology. Europe definitely has the talent for advanced technology. It's probably just a question of having the political will to create the right conditions.
European nations seem to believe the key to exerting military power and deterrance is through building a ton of weapons and hiding them from their enemy AND from their domestic civilians who are scared of how poweful russia is and worry whether russia can be resisted.... and then when russia begins to win the propaganda war at that key moment throw up your hands and say "*Damn well russia ALWAYS wins the propaganda war!*" Hopefully then the European militaries are so secretive that the voting populace of the respective countries do not understand how the thing tasked with keeping them safe from invasion has been evolving or changing with regards to drones and other technologies and thus can easily be nudged by russian propaganda into screaming at the top of their lungs to sabotage their own military. Ughhhh Secrecy above all else though! It is always the "safer" option!
