@@EnjoiCircask8 An Ukraine suicide drone boat. Used to sink russian naval ships. (Magura V5) Costs 270k. So you can potentially sink 8 ships with those at the same cost of taking pictures with an american one. And China/Iran can probably make twice as many for half the money. Since both of them are specialized in drones.
@barneyklingenberg4078 While this is mostly true (latest price for Sea Baby i've seen is 250K), these are nowhere near equal. Multi-role reconassaince sea drones with just optional added attack and permanent submarine capabilities, besides being autonomous and solar-poered are unprecedented. Completely different fish with different and wide roles, so for initial US price i'd say it's more than reasonable, if they do the claimed jobs. Note that planned wartime economies and centrally enforced MIC in autocracies like China, Iran, Russia, N. Korea etc. are bond to be an order of magnitude cheaper per unit (while still wasting billions on corrupted and failed propaganda projects though). Ukraine is an unique case, where free market and MIC is stretched to maximum and does not exactly follow the western profit rules, with mixed costs (materials and imported parts are not as cheap as their adversaries, while wages are now lower, which was other way round before the full-scale war). Ukrainian designed or adapted single-purpose weapons are better value in given circumstances, but you're comparing apples to orangutans here.
I'm reminded of the last years of WWII. Germany put its faith "wonder weapons ", while the Russians just kept producing artillery and tank shells and grinding up their armies. Anyone else see this?

WSJ said a year ago that Russia had run out of ammunition and had resorted to using shovels. Then they said they'd run out of shovels and resorted to using their own boots. Prior to that they said a Ukrainian grandma had shot down a Kinzhal with a jar of pickles. And these are the people selling us global warming, green energy, experimental gene therapies and wars everywhere. And most people notice nothing.
a limerick. A stealthy boat called the Triton Could sail and submerge like Poseidon. Though cheap to attrit, Its sensors were lit, Giving intel that sailors would write on.
There once was boat from Kilkenny That could run underwater like a blenny Now this boat wasn't cheap Its price was quite steep But it could sink Russian boats aplenty.

It's interesting, but there is so much sales language in here that I expect the script was modified and approved by marketing from the companies. There is a lot of...not technically wrong, but objectove/misleading stuff...good, but...too much corporate sales language
Very much spot on, it is a profit driven industry. "Oh it is so cheap, it cost only 2-3 gazzillion dollars, oh no problem we just print more money". Well, good luck with that 🤡🤡🤡
Agreed. A lot of things are misleading, like the talk of thermobarics, we have thermobaric handgrenades its not that special. Or how ukranian helicopters had soviet dumb rocket that work just like the hydra rockets but the "expert" acts like area of effect is a new capability. And most of the video was not about the title just US MIC sales propaganda.
It's not like the Ukraine is buying weaponry from the U.S. but the U.S. is just continuing the military action we started in 2014. There are few if any Ukrainian fighting age men left alive.
There still stuck on stupid because the reason why drones are so much better is because how cheap they are. 10k for enemy drones vs Valkry at 5 to 10 million.
Surprise, surprise, even WSJ falls for BS regarding a "Ninja Bomb", more than likely based not on rational and vetted facts but instead on rumors that originated with "video game warriors.". The actual weapon is a very small TBX warhead placed inside a mostly empty, AGM-114 ("hellfire") type air-frame. The missile was modified specifically to lower the cost of the original AGM-114 (which was meant to be used against tanks and heavily armored targets) while also significantly reducing "collateral damage", when used for "targeted individual personnel" (i.e. targeted assassination). due to the much lighter warhead, the missile's center of gravity as well as center of dynamic stability changed, requiring an aerodynamic stabilization solution, in the form of the six expandable knife-like wings protruding from the missile body frontal section. The "Ninja Myth" is nothing but stupid conjecture information proliferated on the Internet by substandard "drone journalists"...
Yeah, and just sooo hapens that this 'aerodynamic stabilization solution' has terrific secondary use :D Because using e.g. steel ballast would be to difficult :D
My grandma used to live by a missile testing sight in Marin California. She said she could see them testing the rockets right above the ground and putting them back.
The US has been using thermobaric weapons since the Vietnam War. In recent years they have conveniently renamed them as "novel explosive" to avoid bad PR. Hundreds of thermobaric Hellfire missiles have been used in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria - often in urban areas with little regard for civilian casualties.
It is so good to see a topic, or croup of topics done so well and in depth. The work is displayed well and explained well. It presents the topic well enough to see its benefits and the possible dangers of the system, Well done and I look forward to the next video.
That Triton, if equipped properly, could be an excellent tool for oceanographic research! It could observe marine mammals, track birds, and observe physical parameters like currents, water temperature, etc. I can't wait to see what marine biologists do with this!
33:38 It was pretty good but they straight b******* at us about the 155 production because guess what during World War One and World War II we were out producing today's numbers by an order of magnitude but we didn't have any CNC machines back then.... they're simply bullshiting people
In the time it allegedly takes to build one factory to make a few 155mm shells today, WWII would be half way through and multiple factories would have been built in months producing 100s of times more shells of different calibres.
Technology has changed significantly since WW2. WW2 was about mass production, but not very high tech. This translated to a similar situation on the battlefield - large masses of soldiers, lots of deaths. Nowadays, especially in the West, the strategy has shifted towards fewer - much fewer - weapons systems, but highly specialized and extremely advanced technologically. This shapes the battlefields similarly - far fewer deaths. In WW2, you were sometimes sending out two dozen bombers to drop literally tens of tons of shells over a rather large area to destroy one single factory, and still not damage the target significantly. Nowadays, you send out a single missile, and in 99 cases out of 100 you completely obliterate the target. Overall, although individual weapons are orders of magnitude more expensive nowadays than they were in WW2, war overall is cheaper, especially in terms of human deaths.
What took a thousand bombs to hit in WW2, took a hundred bombs during Vietnam, took one bomb during Desert Storm. Basically the same with dumb shells, verses the rocket assisted guided 155 excalibur shells of today. Then their are so called drones which may make it all meaningless when swarms of insect sized drones assault an area, each one directed in real time by a hive mind connected to an AI central control, to kill any living heat source, like a cloud of death.
@@a0flj0 1 precision bomb won't kill 3 seperate targets at the same time. That doctrine is outdated as only for small scale conflict. Number still matter, you can't end the war if you can only shoot 1 and enemy shoot 100. That is what happening in Ukraine
Same weight as t90 which has 125mm calibre, automatic loader 3 crew system and atcive protection system. What a junk tank the booker is lol. I dunno who came up with that tank but he should be fired
@@dillonwest4236 You dont understand how war works so keep it shut. Aerial drones cant occuoy and hold territory and cant destroy fortifications, bunkers or trenches and are useless in proper urban operations
@@AbuHajarAlBugatti Exactly, and as the comment below this said, building these was for their airdrop capability. The Abrams recently got an upgrade and I dont see that MBT line going away. One huge thing they are working on is a reliable counter drone jamming, so we will see where that leads in the next year.
It would be awesome to see a similar video on breakthroughs of educational technology to see how we're preparing kids to make good use of this destructive tech.
It wont ... individuals like You will help about "arteficial" ... whether like or not ... that could be problematic there goes explination that you should confront .... Go Try That :))))
Before you say the Triton is too expensive, consider the costs, it requires a dozen bag of bushings worth 90 thousand dollars and comes fitted with that state of the art 10k toilet seat.
Look into the AN/APG-85, and "Nixie" torpedo decoy systems. The US also has pods that can be attached to aircraft to add jamming capability. I am not sure about drone defense.
After seeing what is happening in the Ukraine I don't think the M10 Booker would last very long on the modern battlefield. More armor, and/or better defensive weapons against ultralight drones are needed to survive today.
@@001vern The reason that Russia and Ukraine have been losing a very large amount of equipment to drones is because they lack any defense systems against small UAVs and neither side has air superiority. The U.S. currently has anti UAV weapons at its disposal and is currently producing many of them to use so it would be different circumstances.
Were excited to see the "BOOKER" on the battlefield. Totally, a "game-changer" for the US Army. The Philippines 🇵🇭 government is actually making a feasibility study to buy at least 200 of this tank in the next 6 years.
Letmegetthisright. Russia fires 20-30,000 shells Per Day and the US went into this mess producing only 14,000 shells per Month ? Half a day's supply. And it will only reach a three day supply/Month in Two Years ( while Russia will again have increased its production over that time). Meanwhile the Ukrainian ground forces advance WW1 style into this baffling barrage WITH NO AIR SUPPORT. 47:00 Humanitary Concerns ? Lets give Ukr. Cluster Munitions that drop indiscriminate landmines covering Donbas. eg: "Some 4 million to 6 million land mines and other unexploded munitions are estimated to have littered Cambodia's countryside" WSJ: Where is your Adult Assessment of the current US Administration ?
full of BS- GLSDB don't work... these are old statements from US Gov. they have since acknowledged it was rushed into service untested. We need to do better.
Yemen in 3 days? The United States spent a billion dollars on the combat operations of its aircraft carrier squadron in the Red Sea, but lost the naval war to the Yemeni Navy. The Houthis' success rate is relatively low given the number of munitions deployed, but they have succeeded it hitting around 30 merchant ships. With traffic through the Red Sea having declined by about 60-70%, the inflationary impacts will be felt in the global economy. Western navies are really really concerned over the "high" number of munitions houthis use…especially when the western munitions in Cyprus are nearly exhausted after more than 6 months of trying to kill houthi children with multi million pound missiles.
Basically, technology like drones, guided glide bombs, and constant surveillance capabilities means armour is useless now. It goes to show how hopeless it is for infantry and armoured personnel in a modern conflict. You are sitting ducks to people in computer rooms far away from the front lines. Nothing but meat shields.
You obviously have no idea about landwarfare. Yeah go let a fpv destroy fortifications, deep trenches, bunkers, hold ground, occupy land, act in urban warfare
No it’s not! Are you a troll or an adversary? Talk like that is insane. Maybe US 🇺🇸 should disband the Military? Borders are open and inflation is growing. Guess we need not attempt defense else Contractors are blamed for promoting War? PATHETIC!
The problem with GLSDB is that it was rushed into production and wasn't ready yet. Ukrainians have not used it much because they found that the Russians GPS jammers were taking it off course. They were missing and that is a problem. Russian EW is good despite having a horrible army in general.
'Horrible army'? 😂😂😂 Now if you said horrible logistics then you would have a point. Russia's army is one of its strongest points. It's crazy that they've used conscripts and felons who have taken multiple cities. 80% of their army is still in the mainland. But I get it, you're a Russophobe who has to say negative things about Russia to make yourself feel better😃 I mean they've ran out of weapons and they're now using shovels too right? If only they fought against Vietnamese rice farmers maybe they would've done better😂
Regarding the booker Tank platform. Good idea compared with a Abrams but was not the STRIKER system invisioned to do that job what now is planed for the Booker? What happened to the STRIKER project?
The MIC taking the concept of "cheap drones" and getting cost up to 3 million dollars is why the U.S. will get pantsed the moment it has to engage an actual peer in war lol.
When there is a new model order, I would hope allowance is made for in line first order improvements should such occur prior to completion of a first order. Seems to me, if significant, any feasible improvements should be added to the first model if caught in time; rather than simply waiting until the first order is finished as ordered. Seems wasteful to complete any order without known improvements being incorporated, just for the sake of preserving the completeness of the first, or any order. Rather, when a significant improvement can be added to the original order, simply negotiate the cost adjustment, add the improvement to the remain see of the first order, calling it a 10A. After that, pray tell, include those improvements and any subsequent others into a second model grouping for future orders.
To 'future proof' the hardwired interconnect, I suggest horizontal drilling, leaving an armor casing and running the fiber/copper, then pressurize the segments for fault detection. Upgrades simply require removal / replacement of the data links. (No more real estate issues.)
_Russia is now one twentieth of one percent larger than it was in 2022, and all it cost them is half a million lives, and the respect of most of the world._ 😨 ⚒ - j q t -
Once production of weapons hit full stride in the US, Japan was swallowed whole. Question is just what it will take to wake the sleeping tiger! It’s ridiculous. Even when there is profit to be made this process can’t be moved to China. Greed tainted this system, but will also get it rolling. Ramjet shells sounds pretty cool…
A periscope or snorkel trail is very easily recognized from the air, it was exploited as far back as WWII. Nowadays with the quantity of sensors in the air, much more, especially with the sail deployed. Objects on the sea are more easily detected and tracked than on the ground, as the sea is very uniform in contrast to the different geographical accidents that land offers for concealment.
I am a disabled US Army Vet, there are a big number of us who live in poverty. Why not improve our lives? Why not take care of our own soldiers! In Roman times soldiers were given titles, land and gold, that empire lasted a thousand years. We are given a bag of 💩 😢
1. Russia is saying they will use nuclear weapons first if NATO countries attacks them directly 2. Putin is scared of NATO conventional superiority 3. Russia focuses more on Nukes Everyone knows - none of the sides wants to use nukes, because that exchange will kill all of us. Conventional weapons are defensive and offensive, while nukes are considered only as repellent (for enemy to think twice of gambling) Russia is showing weakness in conventional war and the West still call them aggressive? Conventional superiority is sign of aggression, while NUCLEAR THREAT is saying clear words - STEP BACK..
Normies don't want to use nukes but leaders don't give a f a out it, they have their multi-million bunkers that can keep them alive for years if not decades.
So in Ukraine the drone war is getting scary. The soldiers getting attacked by those drones don't always see them. Sometimes they go about their business and even looked right at the drone above there head and didn't even notice. Then when not having designated targets. They go out on hunts with drones 24x7. Day and night. Then the scary parts is seeing drones do circles soldiers trying to get away from and trying to hit with sticks. But the drone operator is toying with them because he could have already hit the button to kill him. Then goes in for the kill and target eliminated. Or other footage i seen where a guy hides from a drond behind a tree but doesn't see the drone behind him. Other things i seen on different media is how they also use land drones to go bomb them in foxholes or land drones to sometimes recover aircraft drones by hooking up and hauling them back. Ukraine is a lot more experienced with the smaller civilian sized drones for combat than we are. Then add Russia is always on the hunt for drones. You sometimes hear them but can't pinpoint exactly where they are and you hope they don't see you. Other things i seen is that sometimes when Ukraine launches drones into Russia then they get jammed. Keep going and then sometimes unjam after they are outside of jamming range and regain control. And if you see one drone there is usually several around. They fly in buildings with blown out windows or opened doors or blown out ealls and everything else to hit there targets such as men on foot. Oddly the drones have been fairly accurate and most of the time hitting their targets. I see at least one that managed to fly the drone in the tank hatch itself. I seen other footage where another drone swings around. Stops for a second then darts at a Russian tank and the turret blows off. Sometimes they are strapping old RPG style grenades to them for the tanks. Drone Still light enough to carry and blow up a Russian tank. They only need the explosive part of the rpg. When jammed they send more drones out while sitting in a bunker and keep trying. The video feed usually gets jammed first. They use one drone that not dji brand. That has the target tracking and stuff some consumer drones have. Usually they replace optics with better optics. Infrared or whatever. I been watching a lot of the journalist videos that came out recently. Like Darwin's war from scripps news. It's about Ukraine's ace fpv pilot. And several other journalist shows about drones on the front lines in Ukraine that all came out within the last month or 2. I forgot to add. When jammed they keep sending more out until successful. Then maybe the first few came up short but they only need one to make it to the target. So after a few drones or so they got the target despite the jamming.
>Oddly the drones have been fairly accurate and most of the time hitting their targets. Because you see only succesfull strikes? Even if 90 out of 100 are jammed/missed/downed you'll see 10 videos and say "wow, all of them reached targets".

Korea etc. are bond to be an order of magnitude cheaper per unit (while still wasting billions on corrupted and failed propaganda projects though). Ukraine is an unique case, where free market and MIC is stretched to maximum and does not exactly follow the western profit rules, with mixed costs (materials and imported parts are not as cheap as their adversaries, while wages are now lower, which was other way round before the full-scale war). Ukrainian designed or adapted single-purpose weapons are better value in given circumstances, but you're comparing apples to orangutans here.
The US government is paying over $150 each for wooden pallets.
I'm reminded of the last years of WWII. Germany put its faith "wonder weapons ", while the Russians just kept producing artillery and tank shells and grinding up their armies.
Anyone else see this?

Sure: just like has never happened before.
WSJ said a year ago that Russia had run out of ammunition and had resorted to using shovels. Then they said they'd run out of shovels and resorted to using their own boots. Prior to that they said a Ukrainian grandma had shot down a Kinzhal with a jar of pickles. And these are the people selling us global warming, green energy, experimental gene therapies and wars everywhere. And most people notice nothing.

A stealthy boat called the Triton
Could sail and submerge like Poseidon.
Though cheap to attrit,
Its sensors were lit,
Giving intel that sailors would write on.
Triton is a reusable ISAR platform that costs the same as a one-use cruise missile, that's a bargain.
There once was boat from Kilkenny
That could run underwater like a blenny
Now this boat wasn't cheap
Its price was quite steep
But it could sink Russian boats aplenty.
Proving options for soldiers to fight on
Poseidon is nuclear powered and have nuclear warhead dron that can dive all the world until the target is thermonuclearized.

Surprise, surprise, even WSJ falls for BS regarding a "Ninja Bomb", more than likely based not on rational and vetted facts but instead on rumors that originated with "video game warriors.". The actual weapon is a very small TBX warhead placed inside a mostly empty, AGM-114 ("hellfire") type air-frame. The missile was modified specifically to lower the cost of the original AGM-114 (which was meant to be used against tanks and heavily armored targets) while also significantly reducing "collateral damage", when used for "targeted individual personnel" (i.e. targeted assassination). due to the much lighter warhead, the missile's center of gravity as well as center of dynamic stability changed, requiring an aerodynamic stabilization solution, in the form of the six expandable knife-like wings protruding from the missile body frontal section. The "Ninja Myth" is nothing but stupid conjecture information proliferated on the Internet by substandard "drone journalists"...
Nice.
Yeah, and just sooo hapens that this 'aerodynamic stabilization solution' has terrific secondary use :D Because using e.g. steel ballast would be to difficult :D
My grandma used to live by a missile testing sight in Marin California. She said she could see them testing the rockets right above the ground and putting them back.
The US has been using thermobaric weapons since the Vietnam War.
In recent years they have conveniently renamed them as "novel explosive" to avoid bad PR.
Hundreds of thermobaric Hellfire missiles have been used in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria - often in urban areas with little regard for civilian casualties.

@@justatiger6268 unironically yea.
Really enjoy this type of informative content 👍
In the time it allegedly takes to build one factory to make a few 155mm shells today, WWII would be half way through and multiple factories would have been built in months producing 100s of times more shells of different calibres.
Technology has changed significantly since WW2. WW2 was about mass production, but not very high tech. This translated to a similar situation on the battlefield - large masses of soldiers, lots of deaths. Nowadays, especially in the West, the strategy has shifted towards fewer - much fewer - weapons systems, but highly specialized and extremely advanced technologically. This shapes the battlefields similarly - far fewer deaths.
In WW2, you were sometimes sending out two dozen bombers to drop literally tens of tons of shells over a rather large area to destroy one single factory, and still not damage the target significantly. Nowadays, you send out a single missile, and in 99 cases out of 100 you completely obliterate the target. Overall, although individual weapons are orders of magnitude more expensive nowadays than they were in WW2, war overall is cheaper, especially in terms of human deaths.
@@a0flj0
That was all fine until just over two years ago. Maybe watch the video before replying next time.
What took a thousand bombs to hit in WW2, took a hundred bombs during Vietnam, took one bomb during Desert Storm. Basically the same with dumb shells, verses the rocket assisted guided 155 excalibur shells of today. Then their are so called drones which may make it all meaningless when swarms of insect sized drones assault an area, each one directed in real time by a hive mind connected to an AI central control, to kill any living heat source, like a cloud of death.
@@a0flj0 1 precision bomb won't kill 3 seperate targets at the same time. That doctrine is outdated as only for small scale conflict.
Number still matter, you can't end the war if you can only shoot 1 and enemy shoot 100. That is what happening in Ukraine

@@001vern The reason that Russia and Ukraine have been losing a very large amount of equipment to drones is because they lack any defense systems against small UAVs and neither side has air superiority. The U.S. currently has anti UAV weapons at its disposal and is currently producing many of them to use so it would be different circumstances.

The russian just made it from shovels and ics from used washing machine
The problem with GLSDB is that it was rushed into production and wasn't ready yet. Ukrainians have not used it much because they found that the Russians GPS jammers were taking it off course. They were missing and that is a problem. Russian EW is good despite having a horrible army in general.
'Horrible army'? 😂😂😂 Now if you said horrible logistics then you would have a point. Russia's army is one of its strongest points. It's crazy that they've used conscripts and felons who have taken multiple cities. 80% of their army is still in the mainland. But I get it, you're a Russophobe who has to say negative things about Russia to make yourself feel better😃 I mean they've ran out of weapons and they're now using shovels too right?

When there is a new model order, I would hope allowance is made for in line first order improvements should such occur prior to completion of a first order. Seems to me, if significant, any feasible improvements should be added to the first model if caught in time; rather than simply waiting until the first order is finished as ordered. Seems wasteful to complete any order without known improvements being incorporated, just for the sake of preserving the completeness of the first, or any order. Rather, when a significant improvement can be added to the original order, simply negotiate the cost adjustment, add the improvement to the remain see of the first order, calling it a 10A. After that, pray tell, include those improvements and any subsequent others into a second model grouping for future orders.
GLSDB missiles are counter measured by Russian jamming.
To 'future proof' the hardwired interconnect, I suggest horizontal drilling, leaving an armor casing and running the fiber/copper, then pressurize the segments for fault detection. Upgrades simply require removal / replacement of the data links. (No more real estate issues.)

A periscope or snorkel trail is very easily recognized from the air, it was exploited as far back as WWII. Nowadays with the quantity of sensors in the air, much more, especially with the sail deployed. Objects on the sea are more easily detected and tracked than on the ground, as the sea is very uniform in contrast to the different geographical accidents that land offers for concealment.

1. Russia is saying they will use nuclear weapons first if NATO countries attacks them directly
2. Putin is scared of NATO conventional superiority
3. Russia focuses more on Nukes
Everyone knows - none of the sides wants to use nukes, because that exchange will kill all of us. Conventional weapons are defensive and offensive, while nukes are considered only as repellent (for enemy to think twice of gambling)
Russia is showing weakness in conventional war and the West still call them aggressive? Conventional superiority is sign of aggression, while NUCLEAR THREAT is saying clear words - STEP BACK..
Normies don't want to use nukes but leaders don't give a f a out it, they have their multi-million bunkers that can keep them alive for years if not decades.
Good idea: Russian troops should step back into Russia. Claiming a neighboring country’s territory for your own is in no way “defensive.”
An interesting indeth of technological knowledge!
So in Ukraine the drone war is getting scary. The soldiers getting attacked by those drones don't always see them. Sometimes they go about their business and even looked right at the drone above there head and didn't even notice.
Then when not having designated targets. They go out on hunts with drones 24x7. Day and night.
Then the scary parts is seeing drones do circles soldiers trying to get away from and trying to hit with sticks.
But the drone operator is toying with them because he could have already hit the button to kill him. Then goes in for the kill and target eliminated.
Or other footage i seen where a guy hides from a drond behind a tree but doesn't see the drone behind him.
Other things i seen on different media is how they also use land drones to go bomb them in foxholes or land drones to sometimes recover aircraft drones by hooking up and hauling them back.
Ukraine is a lot more experienced with the smaller civilian sized drones for combat than we are. Then add Russia is always on the hunt for drones. You sometimes hear them but can't pinpoint exactly where they are and you hope they don't see you.
Other things i seen is that sometimes when Ukraine launches drones into Russia then they get jammed. Keep going and then sometimes unjam after they are outside of jamming range and regain control.
And if you see one drone there is usually several around.
They fly in buildings with blown out windows or opened doors or blown out ealls and everything else to hit there targets such as men on foot.
Oddly the drones have been fairly accurate and most of the time hitting their targets.
I see at least one that managed to fly the drone in the tank hatch itself.
I seen other footage where another drone swings around. Stops for a second then darts at a Russian tank and the turret blows off.
Sometimes they are strapping old RPG style grenades to them for the tanks. Drone Still light enough to carry and blow up a Russian tank. They only need the explosive part of the rpg.
When jammed they send more drones out while sitting in a bunker and keep trying. The video feed usually gets jammed first. They use one drone that not dji brand. That has the target tracking and stuff some consumer drones have. Usually they replace optics with better optics. Infrared or whatever.
I been watching a lot of the journalist videos that came out recently.
Like Darwin's war from scripps news. It's about Ukraine's ace fpv pilot. And several other journalist shows about drones on the front lines in Ukraine that all came out within the last month or 2.
I forgot to add. When jammed they keep sending more out until successful. Then maybe the first few came up short but they only need one to make it to the target. So after a few drones or so they got the target despite the jamming.
Russia just developed a “shotgun” adapter to hunt for drones, very effective. Is like shooting a duck.
>Oddly the drones have been fairly accurate and most of the time hitting their targets.
Because you see only succesfull strikes? Even if 90 out of 100 are jammed/missed/downed you'll see 10 videos and say "wow, all of them reached targets".
