Yay. Spending money on hundred million dollar planes, billion dollar carriers, etc when a 50k drone will do the job just as well.
Guess all those lessons in Ukraine haven’t really sunk in for defense acquisitions.
- amenhotep 2y agoRussia's most successful tactic in Ukraine is to pound frontline positions for days on end with glide bombs launched by Su-34s that are able to operate at standoff distances with impunity because Ukraine are desperately short on fighters and can't contest air superiority.
