Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!
I loved this story! Thanks for posting this. Those drones sound amazing.
These articles make me believe many countries must be considering extensive tunnel networks for not only supply lines but entire bases.
>Russian military boggers
I just hope that whenever the balloon carrier drops the Hornets, it says “Carrier has arrived!”
More seriously, great article and impressive how a tech change can change the course of war.
Go Ukraine!
Fascinating article
Is there a list of the drones Ukraine has developed or is currently using in their war against russian genocide?
I like making them to give out to people as 3d prints, but their pace of development is leaving me in the dust.
Truck drivers are the life blood of any economy, so when you start taking them out, you erode the contract that driver has with their nation: provide safe transport to deliver goods.
Once drivers start refusing to go out on the road, it’s game over. It’s not a sexy way to conduct war, as it takes time, but Ukraine has been playing this game since the beginning.
In six months, the Russians will likely not be able to resupply the front at all. Short medium and long range drones exclusively targeting manufacturing and transport of soldiers and supplies coupled with ever increasing sanctions and economic collapse will hopefully end this.
Russia is unable to recruit enough replacements. Those stupid enough to sign a contract are killed long before they can reach the front lines. Those that do will starve or become drone fodder. The front will destabilize. When the collapse arrives, it will be swift.
Why can’t Russia replicate this this kind of stuff? (drone strikes like this ones) Or can they? We saw them previously steal concepts and reverse engineer stuff.
Watch semi portable and portable then man portable laser system development accelerate.
Mark my words.
Because they never thought it could happen to them once it hits in places you don’t think about much. I say continue and double up triple up.
