1. half these drones wouldn’t be so lethal if NATO was fighting

   ​

   our electronic warfare and deep strike will kill the drone operators

2. This is happening in reverse far to much though. Every night Russia sends cheap drones that either destroy infrastructure, or get shot down by much more expensive missles.

   Russia isn’t necessarily losing the price war. Both sides are, though only Ukraine is suffering for it. It’s their cities and land

3. Tanks will just develop anti drone measures. Maybe some kind of emp field that is emitted around the tank to disable drones.

4. I remember a Kid being the first at the outbreak of the war using his drone to spy on a convoy for Ukrainian troups to take out. It was when the Russians were on their way to Kyiv. I think the kid got a commendation from Zelenskyy

5. This is due to a failure of electronic warfare and discussion of this as the “future of war” is highly speculative and likely wrong.

   In the current war, the asymmetric nature and the lack of effective Russian countermeasures have proven quite an effective tool for Ukraine.

6. Don’t forget those Seababies. Those things are capable of massive damage for the price of a jetski.

7. Who write these half truths? Russia also uses drone, what’s the point of saying they don’t
