This war shows well the limitations of combat UAVs.

Combat jet with JDAMs would wipe that column in seconds.

Limitations of small UAV's in a limited number. But even if you had 20 2TB's in the air you could drop 80 bombs on it. Now if you got things like the Akinci or Aksungar up in the air, its a completely different story.

The problem with these drones is they are relatively large and slow compared to a jet so way more vulnerable to air defence.

"Israel Haaretz Newspaper: Tayyip Erdogan was the winner of the Ukraine-Russia war."


I don't know if I'm the only one who notices it - but the nation most frequently mentioned internationally in connection with the conflict is turkey.
If anyone here is still denying a global agenda, that person appears to be mentally retarded. You just have to look at the performance of the TL in comparison with the Rubel.
The western media accuses turkey of being a profiteer of the war, even though turkey has nothing to do with the shit - in almost every 2nd german report about Putin the same attention is paid to Erdogan -
you can tell that Europe's theophobia is so damn deep because of 500 years of humiliation - that they wished turkey would be in war.
While Ukraine praises Turkish support, the Armenian and Kurdish lobbies are so active that the TB2 is presented > not only as western but assembled in turkey <
??, but in every text with alleged "genocides" in Armenian Karabagh?! or a "genocide " in "Northern Kurdistan".

If turkey were to stay out of the conflict completely, i.e. even with deliveries of drones, etc., Turkey would be accused of pro-Russian sentiment and a deliberately passive attitude to weaken NATO.

The moral of the story:

Turkey has no and will have no friends - only beneficiaries and traitors...

To name what I mean concretely;

saw a documentary in German public television; it was mentioned that Putin's influence has bred many "mini-Putins" - deliberately formulated as humiliating.
As an example came turkey and Erdogan with the massacres in "northern Kurdistan" (eastern turkey) that's how german television portrays it...

This is called subliminal influence, although the conflict has nothing to do with Turkey, a bogeyman should be maintained...
Exactly, they keep using Turkey in every breath to create/project hostility. Russians will vent or have to so the west is trying to point fingers at Turkey.

Even historically the enemies raised Turkish flags on their vessels then attacked the enemy in the black sea. Thus dragging Turkey into the war. But it’s more difficult now because we must keep contact with Russia alive every hour to avoid the wests plans.

The Russians are sending new reinforcements to the front line.

Wow, if this is true it could mean that this is whats left in the russian stockpile, considering how "well" things are going inside ukraine the logical step would be to send in elites to enhance offensive capabilities not sending in a train of soviet memorabilia. I cant imagine anyone in the russian leadership wants this to drag on, otherwise the initial fast assault would have been unnecessary. Is it possible that a lot of the newer equipment is non functional and they cannibalised a lot of the old cold-war era equipment (which there is more of) to make working battalions?

I bet they believed that they could pull a fast one, overestimated their own strength and capabilites, while at the same time underestimated the will of Ukrainians to fight, and then got stuck in a meatgrinder.

But jdams come in various sizes and weight. Laserguided munition from artillary could have similar effect.

I’d say a fleet of Harop type loitering ammo would be very nice here.

I think it’s a mistake not to take out aome of them to make the russians flere the vehicles.

This one is very vulnerable to air defence and still no match to fighter jet in terms of combat load.

Appears that a lot of russian IT-infrastructure is relying on Arm, Intel and AMD to deliver processors, companies that will no longer deliver to russia. Who wants to bet this will affect C&C infrastructure and high tech hardware such as planes and drones? (apparently Rostec who makes the Elbrus processor also has a side gig in aviation, running MiG).
