Russia is making so many Iranian Shahed drones that it could soon launch 2,000 of them in a single night

1. economy collapsing, no food in stores, but we have drones to kill innocent people, logic goes brrr

2. Note that this is not 2000 per day production, but about ability to *launch* 2000 in a salvo. Currently they are at about 1000 so its not that far off.

3. The sheer insanity of doing all this just to kill some random civilians…

4. “Might need to scramble those jets, time to time” – every other European military commander

5. If only a portion of the money spent on warfare was spent on the citizens instead

6. While these drones obviously do damage, is it just me or do they seem ineffective, they don’t even seem near as good as the one Iran makes?

7. Well, everyone knows where they are assembled. Give Ukraine 10-15 mid range ballistic missiles and the issue will be over in a matter of 30 minutes.

   Russia will not retaliate against anyone, because they can’t. Kremlin does not understand anything else but violence. They will keep this up until they will be sent a message, that “deeply worried” messages from EU, NATO and US have dried up and from now on the mail will be delivered in a form of a small mushroom cloud where ever Russian military complex has it’s assembly lines.

8. Black ops 2 was right

9. Geran, they are making Geran drones.

   Shahed is the Iranian version, Geran is the Russian version.

10. They saw how innefective they are and they doubled production

11. We should provide Ukraine with enough drones to send at least 4000 back in a single night.

12. Man, its getting more uncomfortable to live in this dystopian world every day.

13. What happened to those cheap missiles that could shoot down Shaheeds while costing less? Seems like something like that is needed to change this course.

14. And what is Europe doing to help? Buying a handful of patriot missiles? We need to get our shit together and start long range missile and drone production in similiar scale.

15. Its clear this will lead to much more civilian casualties so Ukraine need long range rocket systems to destroy these factories cause 2000 drones is impossible to to handle by any means of AA measures.

    Let’s hope something is done to achieve that since this will save lives.

16. So what? It’s the usual war innovation mechanic. Those are slow and easy to shut down drones that are meant to overwhelm defenses at a fraction of the cost. You don’t use these to hit presidential palace protected by anti air artillery guns. I bet the ucranian are developing fighter drones to shut them down in bunches at a fraction of the Shahed cost, to nullify Russian production advantage. Then the Russian will develop escort drones and so on and on and on. Forth and back, back and forth. War has always been like that.
