I'm really sick and tired of hearing about the Ukraine's crappy drones like they are some kind of technological revolution and that the Ukraine brings peer class technology and know how to table that should awe the US.

I mean seriously, we just leveled the Iranian nuclear capability in a matter of minutes with the assistance of all kinds of American drones that make anything even envisioned by the Ukraine look like toys (which, BTW, many actually started life as ).

The Ukraine is using crappy knock offs of Chinese commercial drones to deliver small scale munitions against limited soft targets.

Any serious advancements in AI and pattern recognition guidance are being made with US and EU tech transfers.

American produced VTOL drones are many generations ahead of anything the Ukraine has in the pipeline.

The Ukraine (and the Russians) have been very innovative in the tactical employment of their drone systems despite the limitations of their drones and they have been very effective. However, the effectiveness of the drones is more due the weaknesses of the respective Ukrainian and Russian forces than any innate superiority of the Russian and Ukrainian drone themselves.

The drones and tactics both sides are using in Ukraine would not have the same level of success against US forces.

And a hard pass on sending any American advanced missile defense technology to the Ukraine so they can build their own.
