Well that's cool but it's going to take Biden & co another 5 years to get over all the "red line" to make that actually available, isn't it

Victis posted:They don't grow on trees, and the cheap old Mavics aren't generally what they want, because the zoom sucks. Another issue is price gouging and import restrictions (although those have relaxed recently along with VAT on drones) I wanted to mention though that all sorts of drones are being used in the war, including little DIY racing type drones, larger quads and octas, etc. Drone_Fragger posted:Seem to recall making shells is very easy to automate, being mainly metallurgical and chemical handling operations whereas making drones is very labour heavy because most of the parts need hand fitting by a human, even if the parts individually very che E: has anyone seen efforts to crowdsource some drones? mobby_6kl fucked around with this message at 17:58 on Mar 12, 2023 |

from 11:45-12:23 there is footage of a drone drop, the rest is pretty honest and unglamorous conversation

There's probably not that much pressure when your opponent(s) can't put together a hundred tanks in a year either.

So the Air Force is getting rid of about 100 F-15C/Ds (left) here. Where are they going, Biden? https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/f-15ex-eagle-ii-total-buy-increases-from-80-to-104-in-new-usaf-budget

Tuna-Fish posted:To the breakers. The youngest F-15C is 40 years old. The oldest are quite a bit older than that. They have already started to have minor issues such as "a wing fell off". That's ok they can fly without a wing, just send them over

zone posted:Tatarigami has always cautioned everyone to maintain and measure expectations, and insists to never underestimate even an opponent as weak and corrupt as Russia. Even Strelkov said they still have enough gas in the tank to prosecute the war for maybe another year, if at most. Until that mark is reached at least, Ukraine should still give 100% toward the war. Never underestimating the enemy seems like a no-brainer. The reason I'm not holding my breath now though is that the equipment really necessary for an offensive hasn't really materialized (yet). Still, if it takes another year of this poo poo, so be it, it's not like we have anywhere to go.

OctaMurk posted:I think its the other way around. It's hard to say, I've seen figures around 100-120k thrown around but Ukraine never released anything officially As much as any single loss of life is a tragedy, on strategic sense it's just what it is. I don't think the North Vietnamese were going to stop fighting because of their poor k:d ratios.

Just saw that a map was released https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/mq-9-sensor-video-showing-collision-with-russian-su-27-released There's no way the drone was providing any targeting data from there. Send in the F-22s.

The_Franz posted:To note, countries toe the line with military planes in international airspace all the time. They fly near a border, the other guys send planes out to let them know they see them, and that's just how the game works. Even before this, Russian pilots were generally notorious for being a bit more slipshod when it comes to this dance. Yes but a) That's nowhere near the border (the closest of which is Ukrainian anyway) and b) that never involves dumping fuel on top of another aircraft This is really bizarre (and "unprofessional", lol) behavior

Computer viking posted:It's also a side effect of how we thought a Russian invasion would go, though; nobody imagined a war against the USSR or Russia devolving into a WW1 style "trenches and creeping artillery barrages" frontline. It's not like anyone (outside of the US) has enough of anything for the any other kind of war with USSR/Russia
