Flying a drone into a helicopter's rotor would basically guarantee a crash, right? On paper at least losing a drone seems like an excellent trade if it means deleting a KA-52 from existence, unless the drone in question has some very rare and valuable equipment loaded.

The rotors are pretty resilient, a quad or Orlan-10 sized thing wouldn't guarantee a crash. A bayraktar probably would. The helicopter turbines, however, are quite fragile and do not like ingesting anything other than air.
An FPV drone (carrying an explosive) would be better still. One of those into the comparatively fragile rotor hub would also be a kill. On the other hand, obviously there are significant downdrafts and turbulence in the immediate vicinity of the helicopter, so that's probably quite difficult and maybe impossible to do.

I'm sure GiP would know, but I would imagine so for almost any fixed wing drone, or at the least force an emergency landing which would be fun over water. A TB2 drone is 700kg unloaded, so that would definitely ruin their day.

I suspect that Ukraine will start strapping some RPG-7 warheads to some smaller and cheaper fixed wing drones, and try and bait the Russians in to dispatching rotary aircraft to intercept.

Troll and all but the headline is actually true to a certain degree. $50 lovely drones have done some heavy lifting in this war for Ukraine. I know that the Brits are starting to use them at platoon level now. I won't be shocked if plenty of others are doing the same going forward.

I really don't know much about Zeihan, I have watched a couple of his videos, but the funniest thing to me (I am sure this is some coincidence, maybe he's on vacation or something?) is he's always out of breath on some hike somewhere. "Zeihan checking in, from the pacific crest trail here with some breaking news." I half expect to see him on an outhouse in one of his videos.

I don’t know the guy either but any thoughts on the content of the video itself? I found it an interesting point but I’m not that up on the makeup of Russia as a whole. Is it a bulkshit take? Leaving the typo btw.

Im not keen on the grandiose bits but he made accurate assessments on several points, such as Russia loving the grain deal (and trying to destroy agricultural infastructure in Ukraine).

It's a melange of tepid takes with the primary goal of reinforcing his previous declarations from what I can tell

There's some "the invasion made a lot of sense for Russia", a sprinkle of ignorance on just how much rail infrastructure there is in Russia, a heaping helping of "even the UKRAINIANS can build and use drones to initiate attacks, can you IMAGINE?"

I'm guessing this is a "NATO proxy war" guy?

I re-watched it for clarification and I'm not getting any of this from the video. I'm not trying to defend the guy at all. I just thought he made a point regarding the multi-ethnic structure of Russia and its stability. And it's not something I was sure was that big of an issue but maybe it is so I found it interesting.

He also went on to talk about China and drones and is outside this scope of the thread.

No, he sees this as Russia trying to reclaim their empire before their demographics collapse.

On the whole he's very bearish about the future of Europe, China and Russia, due to compounding effects of climate change, demographic shifts, and a collapse of the globalist system of international trade that he predicts will happen in the near future.

"These include murders, mutilations, child abduction, forced displacement, deportation, sexual violence against children, attacks on institutions and facilities for children", Usenko said, adding thatkidnapped children hadoftenbeen tortured and illegally detained.

Brittle, unstable societies like the Russian Federation rarely comprehend the idea of a society like America being resilient enough to just not give a gently caress about someone trying to undermine it. To a lot of Russian propagandists, the idea that American liberals might not decide to murder or disappear Cucker Tarlson is unthinkable, because it is unthinkable to them that any country could just shrug off such a demagogue. They are so used to brutality papering over internal weakness they don't even recognize true strength when they see it.
