I am debating internally if I should feel bad that my reaction to the one soldier twitching and rolling over was, "Drop another one".
This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

WTF! Mother effers!
Perhaps another good sign Russia is pulling out. Or maybe all discipline is breaking down which may be almost as good.
It would be great if they could be found and HIMARSed.

Beleaguered Russian Commanders Now Babysitting Boss’ Kids in Ukraine
via TelegramRussia’s war against Ukraine has taken yet another absurd turn as one of Vladimir Putin’s most devoted cronies took to social media to demonstrate the epitome of Russian military prowess: his three underage sons haphazardly firing off weapons in Ukraine as they are babysit by a top...
Gonna hunker down behind the river...pretty formidable barrier.
With the way things have been going probably a prudent move by the Russians.
I'd bet you could develop an "audio sensor" to hone in on that drone sound once fired and could get a 100% kill rate with it. Like bat echolocation, only tuned to the sound of their loud engines.
Get that attached to something that doesn't need to "fly fast", since these drones are slow, anyway.
Now that small radar profile doesn't matter.
EDIT: Ever see the guys on the NFL fields with the parabolic "cones" to catch on-field audio and amplify it? That's how this stuff works. Not difficult at all to make something directional. Works just like "beamforming" microwaves, only on audio frequencies...hell, you could have separate "overflying" surveillance drones with that tech, and lasers to guide standard missiles, which would even be a faster solution....because you use existing missiles that are fast as shit...

The picture looks like a vacation picture...
Probably taken 500 miles away from Ukraine. Russia is literally now North Korea with their stupid propaganda and ancient equipment.
Every Iranian drone spotted in Ukraine = New Hit on Iranian defense industry site or military site.
Want us to quit blowing up your shit? Quit handing it off to Putin. Easy Peasy.
They do not need the air defense systems for their counteroffensives.
So, I don't see how this impacts their military plans, at all. Of course, if Sen Minority Leader is successful in "cutting off aid to Ukraine", instead of providing the needed air defenses, I can see that having a very large impact on the war...
I think the biggest problem the Russkies have at this stage is their artillery is out ranged.
Im reading about single HIMARS rockets being used in counter battery.
Sitting on the eastern bank isn’t that great a defensive position if you’re under artillery fire, and your artillery can’t be brought into range.
Yeah, as I watched them play army in the staged video, I kept wishing a hovering drone would just drop a small bomb on them.It would be great if they could be found and HIMARSed.

I know. But until there is a revolution, their misguided judgement will create more Putins.
Not sure if this is old info or not.

Uh....drones aren't going to replace fighter jets anytime soon.
They fill an entirely new niche in warfare.

That wasn't the quote.
And the era of "dogfights" has long since passed. Decades ago.
We cannot domestically replace Middle-East oil for world markets.
Particularly when ours comes out of the ground at closer to $100/barrel (or more), whereas the OPEC nations can produce for a mere fraction of that.
Our resident GOPers keep telling us "this won't happen", even though their own
"We'll never overturn Roe....it's the law of the land, and settled case law"...

If you read/listened to the entire statement, you wouldn't look as out of the loop as you do.
And you clearly didn't read it.
This is an old discussion and I have no interest in rehashing it with you. Put the phone down, drive safe, then when you get home, read more on it.
The era of the drone is the future of ground warfare.
Not aerial warfare and power projection.
US Navy isn't replacing their carrier airpower with drones. For probably several decades, if ever.
