The most overrated weapon of this war. FPV drones are far more effective
These things made no difference at the start of the war when Ukraine had massive lack of weapons and still made little to use of them.
About time. If the SW 600 works as advertised, and they get enough, then this will be a powerful new tool to hit armor and AA beyond the range of artillery and FPV drones.
What exactly are the people basing their dismissal of SB on? The lack of videos is inconclusive, as the US may have asked for footage from them not to be released. And we know Russia is trying to build a clone of them, which presumably can’t be because they suck
People have a misconception. The Ukrainians did not care for the 300, and FPV could do the same work or better for a fraction of the price the US was paying. So Ukraine would prefer many times more FPVs. But just one fund is providing 2000 of those a week now. They have so many they are struggling to find targets.
But the 600 can hit things deep, and it has the bang that the 300 did not. If 600s get there in significant numbers weekly they will have a powerful effect. The Ukrainians have loved the 600s they have received(source, my cousins are fighting there now)
