In our recent webinar, “False Economies in Defence: The Hidden Cost of Cheap Systems,” we dived into into the true costs of low-budget defence acquisitions and assess the operational risks of such systems. We will discuss the hidden lifecycle costs of “cheap” systems, analyse case studies where they failed in real-world missions, and examine the strategic value of systems with strong R&D and modularity.
