  1. I hope that Ukraine can send some Seasons Greetings back to Moscow and St Petersburg power distribution centers.🎄🎅🛩️

  2. Shaheds may be cheap and plentiful, but making interceptor drones for them should be even cheaper and faster, in theory. Once you have the technology in place, that is.

  3. Also maybe they could send some long range missiles to destroy Russias drone factories ? If they can work out where they are.. And if they are within range. That’s likely why this has not happened yet. If they could, they would.

  4. Couldn’t these interceptor drones also be used to take out cruise and ballistic missiles? If the entire Ukraine airspace is networked with the air defense, then there could be enough time to launch an interceptor drone in the path of a missile, which can then follow direction from radar stations to fine tune it’s position to be directly in the path of an oncoming missile.

    As soon as Ukraine knows missiles are incoming they could have interceptor drones launched from 10,000 locations. As the missiles get closer the air defense network could direct the closest drones to position themselves for interception.

  5. West needs to get building drone manufacturing capabilities start getting really good at it now . It’s not going away.
