Details: Analysts from the Defense Intelligence Agency said that the drone-manufacturing facility, which is currently under construction in Russia, is expected to provide Russia with a new drone stockpile that is “orders of magnitude larger” than what it has been able to procure from Iran so far.
The analysts also said that Iran provides Russia with equipment designed to facilitate the completion of the manufacturing plant. The construction is likely to wrap up by early 2024.
Russia will not mess around when it comes to manufacturing drones, they have seen how incredibly effective the Iran drones have been and like with there other equipment will manufacture millions if they can.
Allies have a very small window of time to enable Ukraine to destroy these factories as when completed and if the drones are as good if not better than the Iran drones Ukraine and the west are fucked. Just look at how effective Ukraine is with the toy drones they are using right now, roles will be reversed and I see many lives and equipment lost very fast. That is if pootin does not demand they be used to attack civilians and infrastructure that has nothing to do with the war.
Wake up NATO, if this is allowed to happen even the superior NATO forces will be unable to stop russia wherever they want to start a war.
This is what sitting on your hands does. Give Ukraine F-16s. Cowards.
Magyar should import some sweets. Jagga Jagga time.
Here’s an idea: Send Tomahawks, ATacMS, Taurus, and other long range kit without restrictions on use against Russia.
This is what comes from over thinking every aspect of the war. Send as much as you can as fast as you can and get the war over before ruzzia comes up with an asymetric advantage. Pretty simple.
Blow it up!!!
Sanction IRAN!
Attack IRAN’s drone mfg capabilities.
Lots of Options here.
Unpopular opinion:
I think we underestimate Russia’s production capacity, and meanwhile they make about 100 long range missiles of various types per month . It is not known exactly how many tanks and other vehicles Russia makes per month .Russia already have more in the number of purchases of various Drones from China. ( like DJ and different FPV drones.)Soon there will be a Shahed drones factory in Russia, and Russia already launches them every night in Ukrainian cities.
( I declare as a happy resident of Ukraine who can not sleep normally for several months because of sirens and threats of strikes)
I want Ukraine to win more than anything, but I have a feeling that unless the West multiplies its support, including by giving Ukraine longer-range missiles, this war will not end soon in 2023 or 2024
if west wants to remain reactive, we should at least answer more aggressively and make our decision making more agile. we should ramp up our military production and unblock the “no-go” weapons for UA. it makes no sense to hold back, orks already crossed every line. fuck the nukes. when would their threat cease? they have them, they’re ruled by a group of psychopath mafians. when they use them, they use them, no matter how hard we try not to “escalate”. we don’t escalate at all, we only answer. and much later after orks make their moves. and not proportionally. this must stop and we need to be at least on their level so that they can’t breathe and expand their production, like in this case.
or, stop being reactive and induce guillotine sanctions. not these pussy no-no’s where half of the western corpo wankers continue to trade with the katsaps. and start cutting off china, ceo’s had enough time to profit on their cheap labour force, it’s time to face the reality where politics once again become more dominant than business. we have plenty of space where we can produce and shouldn’t be dependent on that winnie pooh opportunist.
And powerful western world will continue to say that they can’t send more weapons because they don’t have enough of it?
We should let Russia know that for every drone hitting Ukraine we will supply tomahawk/ATACM etc… see if they roll that dice. If they do they had fair warning. Only the most deranged propagandist can whine about it then.
Just waiting for those sanctions to kick in and collapse Russia’s economy, myself, soon, I’m sure. /s
ATACMS now!
So interesting that war eventually devolves into a cost-efficiency race.
Defense against drones better get cheaper than the drones themselves.
Lets hope a storm shadow drops a smoke on the facility
I agree, we need to send more munitions. The West has a complacency issue.
They will literally only engage, once they feel political pressure to act. At the moment, people won’t complain until they can connect the dots…
Time to drone the drone factory!
Thas a bis problem if sanctioned to the max Iran can produce a shit Ton of these Drones it’s probably no effort for Ruzzia to ramp up production
I think Ukraine isn’t gonna _ around here. I bet these facilities never see the light of day bc of continuous Russian cigarette accidents.
Someone might start smoking.
