Do we realize how warfare in the 21st century has changed....in 4 years?

[OAITW r.2.0]

Ukraine is totally changing the game.

You want to fly an FPV counter-drone against Russian Shaheeds? You can do it, from anywhere. Just sign up, deposit your funds, and you can kills Russian drones! Fucking amazing.

1. meanwhile our commander in chief and his GI joe doll are oblivious nt

2. Amazing how so out of touch all Trump appointees are.

I'm glad Ukraine is not giving war council to Iran. I wish Trump would appreciate that.

3. The drones will knock each other out and then we will

Be back to trench warfare..

6. Ukraine is the master of anti-drone technology now. Destroy Russian EW/Air Defense control, and drones....

and Ukrainian drones will take over the occupied territories while demilitarizing the Russian state simultaneously.

Ukraine has the best minds available to deal with 21st century war=rare. Russia 's military is stuck in the 20th century.

As always, the only card Putin/Russian still could play are their nuke assets.

9. If that were true why is this still going on?

[OAITW r.2.0]

11. Well, all I can tell you is Ukraine has changed the board in the past 4 months.

That's the reality. And their drone/missile tech is scaling up. Russian's air radar defense is collapsing back into Russia, Putin's palace is well protected, though.

13. Drone against drone. How long will this last?

[OAITW r.2.0]

14. Specific to Russian aggression against Ukraine?

Maybe 6 months. But that depends if Putin is still in charge at that point.

4. Yep

I follow the war on a daily basis and have watched Ukraine evolve militarily. In the beginning, they survived on sheer determination and bravery. Now, they couple that with sophistication, imagination, and cutting edge technology.

Russia is struggling to catch up. Mostly, they are fighting using old techniques that were sound enough (if you can stomach them) from previous wars. They are failing.

I have developed a genuine admiration and love for the Ukrainian people over the last four years.

7. Biden was there to help. Not Trump. though. He needs to protect his business partner.

[msongs]

10. invaders like russian and israel just demolish everything in the way but

ukraine does not have that kind of capability so they are demolish things selectively.

5. Meanwhile the US MIC has decided we just need many many many more multimillion dollar missiles

and more multibillion dollar apiece ships to launch them from. Oh, and more multibillion dollar apiece jets which don't even work just to look sexy.

8. We can't afford the current fantasy.

[RockRaven]

12. I will only quibble that that doesn't go far enough, and we couldn't afford the PRIOR

fantasy either and are already in an extraordinary hole which will be very painful to climb out of. Nobody in power is willing to face reality and actually commit to, or even seriously call for, a halt to the digging.

15. Think how the US Military Industrial Complex is ossified.

They will fight to kill initiatives that threaten their high tech-big budget programs like the F-35 and stupid Trump Battleships, etc, with huge profit margins. Meanwhile little American drone manufacturers who actually innovate get ignored. As Eisenhower warned, the American military industrial complex can’t be trusted.

16. Budget in Congress now would authorize $59 billion for a new Defense Autonomous Warfare Group.

$59 billion for one year for drones. That's equivalent to the entire Marine Corp budget for a year.

Tech bro Palmer Luckey wants into the Trillionaire Club.
