💥 Scouts burned the Russian “Osa” for 10 million dollars
🫡 Soldiers of the Kryla special unit of the GUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine discovered and destroyed the Russian anti-aircraft missile system “Wasp”.
💰 The cost of the enemy’s automated air defense system is 10 million dollars. The cost of the fpv drone, which the scouts used to burn down the “Wasp”, is several hundred dollars.
😎 Interesting math lessons will continue!
🇺🇦 Glory to Ukraine!
That does seem to be the story of this war, doesn’t it? I bet all the major militaries are looking at stuff like this and investing in more drones for themselves, too.
That would be stupid. Drones are easy to take out with cheap anti aircraft. they work today because it will take a couple yeas to develop and deploy and so they are useful today but it won’t last.
there are good options for drones but based on something like the f35 with stealth or other things that make them harder and more expensive to shoot down. However those are not cheap.
Drone defence will be the big issue of the next couple of decades. There’s no easy solution right now and it will be a constant arms race between better drones and better defences.
Like the Gepard? Hard to cover a large area with that kind of defense, and I assume it could also be overwhelmed with a swarm attack.
Automate it, and build so many they are cheap. Swarm attacks can work but we are learning how to counter them as well
Fair enough. I guess we’ll be seeing it play out one way or another.
It’s fascinating, but I’m not thrilled to see automated weapon systems proliferating like this. At least some soldiers have a good sense of morality and the ability to say no.
