Drones are certainly a game changer for modern warfare. I suppose this is like the Spanish Civil War, the perfect opportunity to try out the new “toys”.
That type of drone is a Soviet era model last produced in the late ‘80s I believe. The first time Ukraine tried to use one of these it landed in Croatia.
Was Engels its target? If so, shooting it down is almost the equivalent of it reaching its target.
Especially if ground crew are killed.
If you want Armageddon then keep poking the bear, you will get it.
Neocons just hate the bear out of spite.
Leftists hate the bear because he abandoned communism.
The bear is toothless.
“You would think that the Russians would learn not to line their aircraft up neatly on the tarmacs to make perfect targets for drones and missiles, but no...”
Except for Anderson AFB Guam, every US base I’ve been had a similar setup. Planes are out in the open.
That’s what Hitler thought after The Winter War.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see an attack on Moscow or even red square at any time.
Fixed it.
I'm sure Zelensky wishes you were.
The bear’s military is absolutely dwarfed by the ours.
But in a fit of rage the bear can kill us all with his ample throw-weight.
We all know where a direct confrontation will lead...
US forces would humiliate the bear on the battlefield and that would lead to nuclear escalation, at that point the bear is at least our equal.
Except that its the bear that’s doing the “poking”. You have it ass backwards.
Given directions by the CIA.
Boomers think it’s 1977.
The German army in Russia is like an elephant fighting ants. The elephant may kill millions of ants, but in the end the ants will eat the elephant to the bone.

This is not a Russia vs Ukraine war.
It is a US Deep State/Totalitarian Globalist Depopulationist Psychopath vs Sovereign Nation-State war.
We fomented a Ukraine revolution/coup in 2014, caused a civil war and sided with the neo-Nazis and Ukrainian nationalists that wanted to exterminate the ethnic Russian population.
We encouraged Ukraine to ignore the Minsk Agreement it signed that would have brought peace to the region.
We armed Ukraine with offensive weapons, teased NATO membership for Ukraine and opened biological weapons labs there.
Then we built the Ukrainian army into the largest army in the NATO zone besides us, and massed it for deployment in the area of the Donbass in obvious preparation for an attack.
And finally, when Russia responded to all that, we claimed they invaded Ukraine for no good reason to annex territory.
The fact that you think FJB has the best interests of the USA at heart in this proxy war indicates how insane you are.
Why do stupid neocons assume the USA itself is safe from asymmetric and proxy warfare????
Has the Kraen been unleashed yet?
It’s not the 70’s, we had nuclear superiority in the 70’s
But that was then and this is now.
