Well, Draconic, that is a lot of really good info, but another thing could be that Ironwood is affiliated with Cinder. Ironwood "accidentally" loses a few Paladins, letting a group of terrorists from the White Fang cause destruction while they could learn ways to imporve it, then finally pulling out before anyone can pin it on them, using the White Fang and Torchwick as a scapegoat. It'd seem that Torchwick's plan was to get enough ammunition and power to supply an army, then BAM, terrorism. They'd then lay low, stoping production of the Paladins with the drones still in Vale. Then when all the flaws and bugs are fixed, shut down all of the drones, making Vale a sitting duck as they attack.

But this is only speculation. It's what I'd do anyway.
