I've expected good news on Iranian drones, but it seems that some people in Russian MIC and MOD really go out of their way to stop that. Pity, as several hundred drones would speed up operation.

T72B3 is in good supply
Not sure why limb questioned this evidenced by video in July of mass T72b3 movement
Ofc wishful thinking stipulates that T62 was for Russian forces, when the militia is better off using an easier platform for semi professional volunteers

There are tons of drones, everyday we see lancet and Kub used
What is the point of such a comment
Why would Russia a premier producer of drones , use Iranian systems which no serviceman is trained on?
The Russian army are professionally trained on domestic produced radio control modules and systems that are implemented across the forces and similar on systems like KUB, Lancet, Inokhodets, Orlan, and other such systems
The controls and interface also use not only similar controls, but similar terminology and Cyrillic abbreviations
So it makes no sense to do this

The footages of bigger drones like Orion or Forpost are sporadic. Very few have been released.
Armed one present in very low numbers. IMO less than 10. Orion is barely delivered and Forpost-R that can use weapon entered service not long ago.
Most of russian drones are orlan 10 and other very small zala uav.
Suicide drones are being used but again in low amount.
Russian are lagging behind in drones. Even if they have some good ones, they still lack numbers and strategy for them.
The factory for Orion was finished only this year, few mo.th ago so the production is not yet at full speed. They will also have to solve issues concerning importation and replacement of electronics. That may need a reengibeering of the drones.

Buggies, quads, ATMGs, self loading mortars on light vehicles, light aa systems, helicopter support - that’s what the boys need. Strongest part of VDV is their infantry and that should be focus. No point to have troops using BMD in Ukraine when BMP-2/3 is much better vehicle. Nona/vena on other hand… these are very nice systems
An example from the Second World War:
http://michalw.narod.ru/index-SynowieMazowsza.html
I think the specialty of the VDV should be to operate more like partisans or special forces troops.
Turning them into "light armor troops" might not be the most optimal thing to do.

I know there's a website trying to keep track of Russian equipment losses, but what about Ukrainian ones? I heard there was one doing both? Does anyone know of any? Thanks!

They tried to break through the river Ingulets, they were killed.
We also note that the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to increase the personnel in the industrial department of Nikolaev.

Ark wrote " The controls and interface also use not only similar controls, but similar terminology and Cyrillic abbreviations " the point of obtaining Iranian drones , goes beyond immediate military advantages . It allows Iran and Russia to increase military cooperation that may increase in the future . The Russians ordered some French ships recently . They could have made these themselves . But considerations are of a bigger political nature . Writing on controls are not a problem .

Point is that they dont have enough medium and heavy recon and strike platforms. And Iranian drones would be a quick and fast solutions untill they can ramp up enough domestic platforms.Arkanghelsk wrote:

I agree. I hope that war won't take longer than a year or, at most, 18 months. They can put that money to better use.nomadski wrote:

Another point is that there were plenty signals lately that drone industry isn't close to where it should be. First thing Manturov commented on, when he was appointed on new function, Putin's comments on Rostec, etc.Arkanghelsk wrote:

You're Russian. Try to find and read all the **** up around Altius drone that happened over the last decade and money wasted.
Some people here act same way as Ukrainians. This war showed that Russian army has shortcomings and then you acknowledge them and rectify. Not pretend they don't exist and thump your chests. Leave that to Ukrainians.

The Russians are rectifying, hence why they now have 3 shift production for Orion drones at the new plant. Then of course Orlan and others.
I suppose the Orion could act double as a heavier observation drone too while Russia waits.
Although, maybe localize production of some heavier Iranian drones would have been better than forpost localized production.

I don't know where ISOS got his info about "10 orion"
Johninmk showed 50 Orion were already in service
Thats enough for more than several wars
So where is the drone shortage?
Again it's not a lack of equipment , people said this, then Kremlin launched thousands of missiles in 1 week
Simply the military already has intel from other sources and has not considered necessary to increase the kind of drone missions that some are saying Russia needs to do
I trust the MOD and General Staff in their assessments
After all, they make decisions, not us

I was thinking about purchasing most suited platforms and testing them in real war conditions. Iranians have been using drones extensively for 2 decades already. If they perform better than analog Russian platforms maybe choose to purchase manufacturing license. Also, that would solve short term needs at the front.

Whydid the Russian MOD habe no problems with license producing an Israeli drone, but theyre so apprehensive qbout using iranian drones? Is there a jew lobby trying to firce russian soldiers not to use Iranian weapons?
Why was the Russian MoD also ok with buying canon cameras for the orlan?
