As for the billions upon billions of $ of weapons they've received endlessly, where is it all? No, you don't mean, you're actually trying to tell me, that those former Russian prisoners, (that only received about 3 weeks training), have smashed to smithereens all those NATO trained Ukrainian Army troop divisions, and all their super hi tech US weapon systems? -- No way, man! I can't be having that! They'd all been trained by NATO for 8 f** years, man!! You know NATO??? That organization of clowns, half wits, and transgender's, who only represent the criminal USA, and most certainly not a single European or European country. It's claimed they've been trained by NATO for 8 years, and who were all armed with the "best military technology available" LOL just crap then?. (Regardless, that none of us have ever seen any of the USA's hardware actually do a single thing it all claims it can do), LOL... that just doesn't matter, as NATO + the USA (same thing), have always proven their military strength, and might, right? LMFAO!!. The outstanding invasion of Afghanistan? Really, what an absolutely perfect example? That was just a cakewalk for them US troops, who told us all they were going to kick the Taliban's asses to kingdom come, (in under 3 months) remember? It was a long time ago, you might not have been born, LOL! But seriously, I mean come on man, just who did those Taliban farmers think they were kidding?, hilariously thinking they could take on, and beat, the most powerful military force this world has ever seen? What utter stupidity, and outright idiocy, that really was from the Taliban farmers! I mean, just look what they were up against?... The USA & allies = A trillion dollars worth of "super hi tech", military hardware. Vs The Taliban = A dollars worth of military hardware. (old, rusty broken AK-47s the Soviets dumped and left behind), and not to forget, homemade IED's. As if the Taliban farmers stood a chance? Hilarious! Oh, but wait?, 20 years after, the USA was going to kick their asses (inside three months), the Taliban hold more ground today than they ever have, and them Yankee boys, (as always), all got sent home. Haha, haha. Such a powerful force, they all claim, hilarious. LMFAO. But hang on here a minute, what about all those mercenaries? What about all those US troops (that we found out were fighting in Ukraine)? And what about all those Ukrainian fully fit, hard, strong, (fighting men), aged between 12 -15 years old, or those 65 - 75-year-old pensioners... (we all watched being rounded up, and kidnapped off the streets), to be thrown into the front lines? Where are they all? What??? You mean, an 800,000 strong Ukrainian Army, with many NATO trained troops vs 50,000 Wagner fighters with former prisoners trained for a few weeks.... Are all gone? LMFAO!! Propaganda is designed to do exactly this, (to all the least educated members of our societies), it turns them all into imbeciles, and the brain-dead's of our societies. And LOL @ Ukraine "apparently" shooting down 4 Russian aircraft, (including a Russian SU-34 multirole bomber, and a SU-35 fighter), in a "brilliantly arranged" Ukrainian preplanned ambush? Hahaha... Sure, only... 1. If an ambush, they'd have needed to know exactly where and when the Russian aircraft would be deployed, as well as knowing exactly where they were being deployed too? LOL. 2. Surely if a "brilliantly arranged" Ukrainian preplanned ambush, then they'd all be filming it? LOL 3. So far, everything Ukraine has claimed, up till now, has all just been lies fitting of idiots, and remedial propaganda claims that are all so backward in their entire context, that it's staggering we could see even the dimmest among us believe it. The Ghost of Kiev? LOL Snake Island? LOL Ukraine sunk the Russian flagship Moskva, with R-360 Neptune anti-ship missiles? LOL. Ukraine "apparently" shooting down 4 Russian aircraft, (including a Russian SU-34 multirole bomber, and a SU-35 fighter). LMFAO And now, well now Ukraine has apparently shot down Russian hypersonic Kh-47M2 Kinzhal missiles LOL, (oh, and with the American patriot system), that hasn't ever shot down a single thing in all the years they've had it, nothing, (not even that ancient Scud they tried to claim it shot down in Iraq)? LOL. And then???? Well then, they just simply shot down 6 more! Hahahaha. It isn't even a Russian invasion of Ukraine! It's only a military operation being carried out to demilitarise and denazify the Ukrainian military. Ukrainian military loses: 879 Aircraft. 335 Helicopters. 4,273 UAVs. 648 Air defence missile systems. 9,274 Tanks and Armoured vehicles. 1,100 multi rocket launchers. 4,887 Field artillery cannons and mortars. 10,395 Special military motor vehicles. Troops falling at a rate of 12/1 in Russia's favour. A military crushing the likes of which none of us have ever seen before.

[@timjamesg158]

@@randysSHACK LOL, LEARN YOUR HISTORY! I'm English, so please do explain why you Americans only ever "talk" like you have a military history and record, like the British? I mean, that's just so wrong, It's really bizarre, yet also really funny reading you all. You really are so uneducated and deluded, it really is quite remarkable. The truth (you have no idea about) is, the United States has one of the very worst, and easily the most cowardly military record of any country on earth. Yet, reading you all, people could be forgiven for thinking you're awesome at fighting wars! LOL... But that would only be, 100% completely wrong. The reality is, the United States has been at war for 227 of her 247 calendar years of existence. In other words, there are only 20 calendar years, in which the U.S. has not waged any wars. The Wars waged were never against a single militarily capable country, but only countries once considered the Third World, any resistance from those countries, nearly always saw the USA lose! Pick any year since 1776, and there's a 91% chance that America was involved in some war during that calendar year, and a 73% chance they lost it. No U.S. president truly qualifies as a peacetime president. Instead, all U.S. presidents can technically be considered “war presidents.” The U.S. has never gone a decade without war. The only time the U.S. went five years without war (1937-42) was during the isolationist period of the Great Depression. Since the 2nd World War, the USA has started 206 armed conflicts, resulting with approx 40-50 million (mostly civilian casualties). And only conflicts based on their own false premises/lies. (And they've failed in most). This is more than 2 conflicts, started based on nothing more than lies and propaganda, per year. LMFAO! Ain't you just awesome?! Oh, no! Wait!! What am I saying? Silly me! We all know the USA is the most powerful military country in the whole wide world today! Such a powerful force, they all claim. Hilarious. Reminder... Beaten and loses in Vietnam, after using chemical weapons, Napalm, both Agent Orange, and Agent Blue, while burning down entire towns and villages, killing hundreds of thousands of women and children, while losing the war against a bunch of tunnel kids, they tried to burn alive! Such a powerful force, they all claim. Hilarious. When a million Chinese ran over the hill in Korea?, they fled and got chased back behind the 38th parallel, then gets out of the War, with a ''face-saving'' armistice. Such a powerful force, they all claim. Hilarious. Thought they'd force China to purchase their opium in the 2nd opium war, yet is the only one defeated by China, as both the British and French had won convincing victories, while the USA, humiliated, and well defeated, had to limp home, all alone. LOL. Such a powerful force, they all claim. Hilarious. Fought for a mere 28 months in WW2, and hilariously, for years, claimed it was because of the USA we won the War LOL. When we all know the facts say the exact opposite. It's not even up for debate. If Britain had not fought WW2?, the USA would no longer exist. Yet unbelievably they still try to say the same today?, with their propaganda history, they've all been spoon-fed from birth, as if a real part of their history. Such a powerful force, they all claim. Hilarious. Claimed they forced the USSR to remove its Cuban missiles, or they had threatened War? While the truth is, that it was the USA that was forced to remove their missiles and close down their military base in Turkey, before the USSR would agree to remove their Cuban missiles. The complete opposite of what they all got taught. LOL. Such a powerful force, they all claim. Hilarious. Claimed Japan surrendered after the second nuclear bomb, when we now know today, that was, guess what? You got it, just another American lie. Japan had ignored the first Nuclear attack, they also ignored the second Nuclear attack and Japan only surrendered after Stalin had kept his promise to Invade East Asia, and the Soviets crushed the Japanese. - That alone removed any hope the Japs had of getting Stalin to act as a mediator for a conditional surrender, and it was only then the Japanese surrendered (as we now can read from the people of the time). The timing of the surrender proves It, It was indeed just another American lie, and is still to this day, by far, the most cowardly act ever committed by anyone on earth. Such a powerful force, they all claim. Hilarious. Thought they bossed Syria, with their bought and paid for terrorism, only to then have to sit back and watch Russia kick their terrorist's to pieces over and over again, while the USA were helpless to even resist it, and so instead they resorted to, once again, more lies, more criminal attacks on a legitimate leadership of a sovereign country. Such a powerful force, they all claim. Hilarious. Thought they'd show Russia, (as they supplied Georgia with their military assistance). LMAO, more like hindrance! Then had to watch Russia annihilate and destroy all the military equipment they'd just given away, every piece, exactly like we see them doing in Ukraine today! PMSL. Such a powerful force, they all claim. Hilarious. They've destroyed and ruined the lives of an entire country (again), Ukraine this time, with once again, more of their? Yep, you've guessed it, more lies, more supplying weapons to criminals, terrorists and Nazis, and are only working against all the interests of the Ukrainian people, and still are, while pathetically trying to blame it on Russia. Such a powerful force, they all claim. Hilarious. They claimed they'd kick the Taliban's ass (inside 3 months)... The USA = A trillion dollars worth of "super hi tech", military hardware. The Taliban = A dollars worth of military hardware. Old, broken, dug up, rusty AK-47s the Soviets dumped and left behind plus homemade IED's. 20 years (after), the USA were going to kick their asses inside three months, the Taliban hold more ground today than they ever have, and the Yankee boys, as always, got sent home! LMAO!! Such a powerful force, they all claim. Hilarious. The USA struggles against the Taliban and many other non-militarily capable countries, man!, they've never met a fully militarily capable country. And they want to take on Russia? LOL... Go on then, dare you. LOL! It's easy, honestly, just ask the Mongol's Golden Hoard, the Ottomans, Napoleon, or Hitler? LOL. Personally, I give the USA precisely zero chance against Russia, or China, or Iran, or even N. Korea, let alone both Russia and China as allies? LOL. Who are these yanks fooling apart from themselves? Your military is only as good as your MEN! LOL @ the Yanks! The American 2023 = We're stronger today than we've ever been!!.. Like that would be difficult? LOL. Such a powerful force, they all claim. Hilarious.

drones can't knock missiles out of the sky

[@heikos4264]

Many People are completely blinded by the flood of cheap drones Ukraine is using and think it's the most innovative and one of the very few ways forward. Look up german drones in Ukraine... (sidenote: during the 70s germany already used drones for artillery support. -while some allies laughed at them 🤦) If you dig deep enough you will find out that germany sends stuff that goes from the whole range of reconnaisance drones up to sea drones (i guess they partially are a german middle finger to Elon Musk). And these 2 are completely right, drones can't do everything. Ukraine needs sophisticated weapons too. A perfect example is artillery. There are so many barrels that can fire mass, but nonetheless they have a need for the 3 or 4 top shelf guns like the PZH2000 for example. Some stuff can't be done with pure mass and must be done with guided shells fired from the most precise guns. Like the PZH knocking out a radar dish last year. One can clearly see the she fired 3 shells. First one went INTO THE MIDDLE of the radar dish and the 2 that followed must have been normal shells when you look at the spread (15-20meters in front and behind the vehicle with the radar), to get people that tried to run away i guess (use the expensive gps guided ammunition for the radar, the cheaper more unprecise for the soldiers). If you look at the timing at which they impact it is clear that all 3 shells were fired either from a PZH2000 or a CAESAR which was set to rapid fire on full send. That was a proper lesson in combining precision with a bit of 'cheap mass', a lesson in perfect usage of weapon/resources. And it perfectly shows why they need sophisticated weapons, too.

[@JoeyBlogs007]

Ukraine needs 500,000 drones of various kinds to repel the enemy. It's the most cost efficient method. They just need to add AI vision targeting, along with terrain map, inertia and magnetic navigation as backup to GPS, so they can operate autonomously and return to base via covert waypoints. Video recording along with live video streaming also providing further backup of battlefield intelligence data. Modular weapons attachment selection options also. They already have some of this, but getting the redundancy into these smaller packages should make them more robust against the illegal enemy invaders. They are not hugely expensive components either. They are already available for drone hobbyists.

[@ronblack7870]

they have a jet powered drone coming. there have been a few partial pictures published. they have ramped up drone production. like the video said. they probably already make a huge number. that one guy said they make 1000 / month and those are very high end surveillance units

Experienced drone pilots are as dangerous as snipers only they can take you out from 2km or more without a scratch.

[@robinbailey7460]

Ukraine started using them in the first days - as the tanks tried to reach Kyiv. Ukrainians have geared up fast. Some military/nations still have to realise that knowing their resources are being used up still haven't ramped up production. Met a couple on the train home from London in April 2022. The lady works in a facility that produces ordinance for the UK, she said they were already pushing production up, then. Also tweaking some parts to accommodate the old soviet era stuff Ukraine had been using. American Motor companies like Ford switched to military production fast in the 1940's. What is Mr Tesla Musk doing - sabotaging Ukraine's drone warfare delivery accuracy. Perhaps he sees a market for Tesla in the expanded Russia. [ah probably being 'bullied' by the Chinese factories build his stuff.)

UAV pilots are vulnerable when they have their ground recievers and transmitters in their hands or nearby that can be located by the Russians.. An extra short range handheld console that controls the actual long range transmitter placed at a safe distance from the pilot could protect him from being shelled.

[@dannydetonator]

I'd guess they've worked it out by now. The important bits of frontline are not manned by artillery and drone operators at the same spot. They're given coordinates by commander via encrypted Starlink nodes. The russians first target artillery before looking where the tiny drone operator gets his signal, not as accurate as to hit a single or few persons hiding in dugouts.

Especially for Ukraine, or most countries smaller than the one attacking them, this is a great way to offset the shortage of manpower. Ukraine does not have the soldiers to go against Russia one to one, one drone pilot can launch many drones to a target, often also much more expensive and or even irreplaceable targets. After the war, Ukraine is going to be a Drone powerhouse. Drones of all sizes and purposes. Hopefully it will be a good industry for them, although making weapons is mostly a waste but unfortunately also a need, it might make them a lot of money, which they will need to rebuild their country. Now Ukranian drones are even using the many recovered Russian anti-tank mines to drop back onto them, great use of Russian and Ukranian equipment. Russia must pay, Ukraine must win, not too sure if Russia will pay for what it has done after the war, but i know Ukraine will win.

[@John-hu9qg]

the Russian Lancet-3, and Shahed series of drones have inflicted enormous losses on Ukraine.
