my genious nuanced take is that this is dumb nationalism on both sides being exploited by regional powers to play out their various proxy conflicts, and the only genuine bad guy here is Mikhail Gorbachev for not killing all the nationalists in 1987 and saving the USSR. if the armenians and azeris were smart they would hold hands and together drop a scud on his dacha.

given what we’ve learned about scud accuracy they better drop at least a dozen

no they're saying they hit and damaged an armenian missile that then fell short of its target due to the damage

also patriot missiles have a record for poor accuracy

at this point what is the point of infantry except to get droned? worse than throwing them at machine guns in ww1

i mean there does seem to be way to counter the drones, its just that they're all hideously expensive. exponentially so when you factor in the cost of the drones.

yeah you need radar tracking to hit them. the isreali drones have service ceilings of commercial airliners (suicide drones seem to cap out at 10k-20k feet) and they all move at 150+ mph.

lol goddamn this system sounds insane

quote:

Krasukha-2[edit]
The Krasukha-2 is intended to jam AWACS at ranges of up to 250 kilometres (160 mi).[3][4] The Krasukha-2 is also able to jam other airborne radars, such as radar guided missiles. The missiles, once jammed, are then provided a false target away from the original to ensure that the missiles are no longer a threat. The Krasukha-2 guards mobile high priority targets such as the 9K720 Iskander SRBM.[3]

Krasukha-4[edit]
The Krasukha-4 broadband multifunctional jamming station is mounted on a BAZ-6910-022 four-axle-chassis. Like the Krasukha-2, the Krasukha-4 counters AWACS and other airborne radar systems. The Krasukha-4 has the range effectively to disrupt low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites and can cause permanent damage to targeted radio-electronic devices.[2][5] Ground based radars are also a viable target for the Krasukha-4.[1]

I really think it was a chance to try out modern toys against a conventional opponent that they couldn't pass up. The drone war of this conflict will be studied like the american civil war was before WW1.

so none of the lessons will be learned or applied until the third year of WW3?

depends on how expensive the infantry is, ISIS could apparently do that for almost forever.

the options aren’t that dire there are bofors 40mm guns or the phalanx that would do an ok job, although the phalanx would spend more in bullets than any drone would cost. there all kinds of electronic warfare things that could be tried, but they can absolutely be shot down with a modern AA gun at a reasonable exchange rate.
