They’re not getting it. It’s held up in Congress and promised from Europe. And none of it is for drones of that range, so they improvised.

So now you’re picking on words. “Don’t call it a recesion.” It depends what the meaning of “is” is. The riot in Crown Heights was not a “pogrom”. They’re not “illegals,” they’re “newcomers”. Don’t call it “kamikaze”. You sound like a Demonrat. Sad.

Does this mean we won’t have to give them our F-16s?

It means they can still put up a fight and are to be reckoned with, even without the fancy doodads. That means that they’re worthy of a doodad or fifty. Get over it. The warriors are made in Ukraine.

Anyone worry these drone tactics are gonna be taught to folks who would use them in the USA?

Absolutely.
But, heretofore, I haven’t seen anyone post the specific application which concerns me and which I will not post.
...never educate your enemy

It’s a kamikaze drone in the sense that it destroys itself in the carrying out of its mission. I think most people get it. It’s a figure of speech.
