Seeing as how Turkey recently defeated one of the Russians air defense systems in the Middle East using drones,talking up Russian weapons must be the CCP directive of the week.

You're talking about third party proxy operators in Libya, who may or may not have had proper training in the Pantsir air defense system and most likely very little actual experience.

Drone swarms have been markedly less effective against Russian military installations in Syria where air defense is under direct Russian control.

Both sides are learning from these encounters, so it remains to be seen whether Turkish drones are more effective than Russian air defense.

Sounds about right.

Drones now have to be accounted for, and countermeasures will have to adjust for tactics only recently devised.
