Propeller driven aircraft and pilots who can handle them are cheap. Probably quite effective on drones.
World War I Tactics Make A Comeback As A Ukrainian Gunner In The Back Of A Propeller Plane Shoots Down A Russian Drone
April 29, 2024 - The first aerial dogfights during World War I were slow, almost comical affairs. So was last week's mid-air skirmish pitting a Ukrainian Yak-52 training plane against a Russian Orlan drone.
This method of destroying drones is cheap—but it’s not easy.
This is either a rehash of a story from a fw months go, or they had another success months later. Either way, it' s insignificant. Russia can withstand this kind of loss all day long, everyday.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Ukraine's military have been consistently adapting and improving their aircraft and weaponry
The latest innovation is based on the WW2 Spitfire.
And a 170 MPH Yak does what against a hypersonic drone?
Send em some Stearman`s.
Whatever else is going on, it is no surprise to President Putin that Ukies hit back. Abd Spitfires versus drones does less harm to Russian forces than had they used piloted aircraft. The whole point of drones is enhanced expendability.
I heard Ukrainians are using M80s to scare the shxt out of the Russians. Word has it umcrevmom has written the surrender document and Russia signing is imminent.
Regardless of the side....
We are seeing the cheapness of modern weapons of war. Drones costing a few hundred bucks are taking out multi million dollar equipments and killing with accuracy and abilities like never before.
Meanwhile.... our idiot brass, Chief joints, and Chomo in Chief are planning weapon systems that will enrich politicians while remaining completely useless against these cheap drones. Heck, the worlds’s most powerful Navies can’t even take on a bunch of stinky low IQ tribal thugs in Yemen.
They need those F-16s. Why is Biden dragging his feet?
You love this Biden catastrophe so much you should go over there and enlist.
LOL you’re pretty desperate with the terrible propaganda.
