How much influence on the price/availability of RAM is due to military drones?

AI Hardware
Warning: Speculation. Summary: Current hardware prices may be due to military demand we can't see. I know we've been thinking of big companies building massive datacenters. But another thought has occurred to me. Military drones with AI capabilities have been "on the rise" for the last two or three years, and every time one of them dives it takes a few gigabytes of RAM and at least a couple of NPU or GPU chips with it.
