Let’s face it, all the best will in the world, NZ are never getting a combat force back. My humble opinion is the NZ Govt should invest (and a modest one too at approx $10m USD a copy) in a small fleet of reapers. They can provide persistent surveillance over our larger expanse of water. They also can enforce this with their weapons capability. Also they will provide overland surveillance, if required, over our major cities. Hell I'm sure they would be able to strap an asraam on it as well.
