In a disaster scenario, the base stations are down, everything is broken.

Just find a big balloon, attach the antennas to it, send it to the air with
an electric cable connected to a power generator on the ground.

You have a base station in 1 hour.

Why spend millions of dollars/euros for this MANET effort?
