    Why did you share this with the other members of the forum, you dumb French mule, since it is obvious that according to you Russia does not have the technology that Surovikin is talking about ?
    HANDE HOCH ! Laughing

    Since he came to power he is buying and using iranian drones effectively, is going to buy bigger iranian drones and is buying iranian ballistic missiles in order to switch from a dumb way of doing war to an effective strategy that will reduce number of useless deads as he he says.

    If like you say, russian weapons are the best, produced in quantities more than needed and used very well, can you then explain us why this russian general that is in charge of the war is buying iranian drones and missiles and changing the whole strategy after he bought iranian stuff ?

    Btw feel free to block me and go **** yourself as suggested before.

    Cheaper. And just trying new things

    At least when it comes to hitting targets like that Ukrenergo that they just did. They could have taken that building out any time with a cruise missile
    .
    But they're trailing suicide drones against buildings it seems

    Of course though to hit targets of opportunity on the front the Geran is invaluable. But its biggest impact is as a psychological weapon

    Russia's biggest weakness so far has not been its lack of precision weapons. That's a fabrication of NATO fantasists
    Nor casualties and such in and of themselves
    Or the Su-34

    But the failure of its military-political strategies for achieving its objectives and ending the war. Whether the advance on Kiev, or the negotiation attempts afterwards, or the hope to provoke mass surrenders among front-line Ukrainian troops and rout their lines in Donbass. All of it failed. Ukrainian cohesion and morale held. NATO resolve to attempt to collapse Russia through the Ukraine didn't falter. And so on.

    And as a result you end up with this big slog of a war that couldn't have turned out any different under these circumstances; the particulars of which artillery pieces were lost here or there are not that significant. Although all these Ukro videos you demonstrated amount to nothing. They release these in batches to create the appearance of some catastrophe for Russia, whereas in reality they most likely are compiled from material over the whole period of the war.

    Surovikin has exactly the right idea, not in terms of using drones but of dealing a knockout blow to end the war. Although I do believe that this move has been months in the making and predates Surovikin.

    Good old S-60 used for ground work. Very cheap and pretty effective against lightly armored vehicles. Hopefully they will soon be replaced by mass-produced
    Kinzhal and Epokha turrets.

You can clearly see Russian markings on them, which would be unusual for a drone manufactured in Iran. I bet the shipments from Iran are the electrical components / assembled boards for them. Assuming they're able to manufacture even just >=50 of them per day, I don't believe any existing air-defense would be able to cope well with a sustained campaign; it's simple math.

    My guess is that Iran sent equipment to set up local Russian mass production of the "airframe" a while back, and then continues to supply the little engines and the cheap Iranian guidance electronics. This so they can say they're not in fact supplying any drones, technically.

    Not a bad deal. Ukraine gets all the western toys for free, Russia actually has to develop and pay for its own stuff, so plugging the extant holes with some cheap, already developed Iranian stuff is brilliant. Sure, Russia could develop its own equivalent rather easily, but it would still cost more and take time to setup. Of course, Russia could just keep flinging cruise missiles at these targets, there's no shortage, but when the job can be done by something that costs 1/100th of one, hey? If they hit the target, great, if they are shot down by a SAM or AA missile that costs Western tax payers a hundred times more, great.

    It's brilliant, again.

    PS I can't help but to find it amusing that out of all the vaunted "game changers" we've seen so far, the first actual one seems to be this plastic lawnmower "Dorito" that costs little more than a hobby RC jet.

    Oh sure they did!
    And they have beaten the Ottomans and broke the siege of Vienna.
    The most famous hetman was Janko III Sobieschenko. I guess you have never heard of him, yet ...
    I have only one issue.
    Considering the mighty Ukro Empire dates back in 7000 BC - as they built the pyramids back then - there must have been some vibrant cooperation with the other mighty empire - The Lechian one.
    Our winged hussars best-riding mammets obviously had to meet with kozaks best-riding raptors somewhere around 5000 BC.

    And the scenario you are talking about makes perfect sense. In a single flight, you can pack hundreds of engines and electronic sets.
    While all that is needed for the fuselage is a form and plastic.
    Hell cheap, and in huge numbers - that is what it is.

    Of course, nobody is stating these systems are indestructible. Every system is vulnerable while being reloaded or simply operating in solo instead of pairs. Even Iron Dome can't pick out every single projectile and is a large-scale layered system.
