from the comments... How true.
It took less than a year for Joetard to wreck the world's economy, and less than two years for Joetard to transform the world from being relatively stable to teetering on the brink of annihilation. Fake elections have real consequences.
It appears that using drones as spotters for artillery is effective. If a military observer watching the drone footage sees enemy vehicles getting into concealment, they have no place to hide.

Yea, so is this so called war.In all fairness to be accurate that zelensky jersey with the swastika has been photoshopped that isn't genuine.
But everything else is
Kindly, see above and ditto.Left lower image with jersey is known to be a Photoshopped image
Ok, here's a scenario
What are the odds in the near future NATO countries like US, UK, Poland will deploy troops into western Ukraine as peacekeepers to discourage Russian advances and strikes.
There is a reason NATO ran away from Ukraine. Russians warned they will use "military-technological" means if it didn't. Publically nothing was said beyond that. There is lots of speculation about the levarage they used. This probably still a discagaging factor.
Technical details aside, what is he wrong about?LOL, this guy is so wrong about a lot of things.
Saegheh-1[edit]
The Saegheh-1 was first presented at an Iranian arms expo in 2016.
Iranian state news claimed the Saegheh-1 could carry four Sadid-1 precision-guided anti-tank guided missile
The Shahed 129 (Persian: شاهد ۱۲۹, English: "witness", "martyr"; sometimes S129) is an Iranian single-engine medium-altitude long-endurance unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) designed by Shahed Aviation Industries for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The Shahed 129 is capable of combat and reconnaissance missions and has an endurance of 24 hours; it is similar in size, shape and role to the American MQ-1 Predator[5] and is widely considered as one of the most capable drones in Iranian service.
The UAV has been used for airstrikes in the Syrian Civil War and for border patrol on Iran's eastern border.[3] Together with the Saegheh, the Shahed 129 is expected to form the backbone of Iran's high-end UAV fleet for at least the next decade.[3]
The Mohajer-6 (Persian: پهپاد مهاجر-6) is an ISTAR[1] UAV capable of carrying a multispectral surveillance payload and/or up to four precision-guided munitions.Ten have been manufactured as of February 2018 for the IRGC Ground Forces,[2] and 40 are planned for the IRGC Navy.[2] The Mohajer-6 complements the larger Shahed 129 operated by the third IRGC branch, the IRGC-ASF.[citation needed] Three have also been delivered to the Iranian Army.[3]
The Mohajer-6 entered serial production in February 2018.[4] As with other members of the Mohajer family, the Mohajer-6 is made of composite.[5]
It has a fixed, forward facing camera for navigation and a gimbal on the chin for a laser range finder and multispectral IR and visible light electro-optical imagery.[8] The Mohajer-6 has three antennas, two on its left wing and one on its right, and a pitot tube on its nose. The Mohajer-6 has two main variants. The A variant has two hardpoints, one under each wing, which can each carry one Qaem TV/IR-guided missile or one Almas missile.[2][a] Whilst the B variant has 4 hardpoints, with 2 under each wing carrying the same types of missiles. It has an autopilot system capable of automatic takeoff and landing. In addition, Iran describes it as capable of being fitted with electronic support measures, communications jamming, or electronic warfare payloads.[8]
Iran’s latest drone capabilities, documented in photos from a recent Iranian drone exercise, were captured by Iran’s Fars News and a Ukrainian website named Defense Express. The Ukrainian report alleges that Iran has copied Israel’s Spike anti-tank missile and installed it on a drone.

HESA Shahed 136 swarming drone
The relatively cheap drone is fired in multiples from a launch rack (in batches of five upwards) and is designed to evade air defenses and overwhelm ground targets, consuming air defense resources during the attack. The drone was revealed in December 2021 through published footage. The system is believed to first have been actively deployed to Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen.[5]
In the months prior to the confirmation of their use, US intelligence sources and Ukrainian officials have claimed that Iran had supplied Russia with several hundred drones including Shahed-136s, although Iran has repeatedly denied this.[21] Iran has yet to officially announce the delivery of any form of military aid to Russia, although Major General Salami has alluded that "major world powers are using Iranian-made arms".[22]
On 13 September 2022, initial use of the drone was indicated by photos of the remains of a Shahed-136 inscribed with Russian: Герань-2, lit. 'Geranium'-2,[12] operated by Russian forces during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[11][23] According to Rodion Kulahin, the Ukrainian artillery commander of the 92nd Brigade, Shahed 136 drones destroyed four howitzers and two BTRs during the Kharkiv counter-offensive.[24] On 23 September, further use of the drones was recorded in Odesa, where videos of their flyover and subsequent impact were uploaded on various Telegram channels. Notably, the drones were audibly engaged with small arms fire, which did not seem to have shot down any of the aircraft. On 25 September, videos posted on social media shows intensified use of the drone by the Russian forces around Odesa and Dnipro cities. This time, along with small arms, some form of anti-aircraft rotary cannon was employed, along with surface-to-air missiles, downing at least one Geran. A number of the drones were able to hit unknown targets, although there are claims the Ukrainian Navy Headquarters in Odessa was hit.[25][26]
In response to these initial attacks, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has denounced it as "a collaboration with evil". Diplomatic ties between Iran and Ukraine were reduced in Ukraine as another consequence of the attacks.[27]
On October 5, 2022 a Geranium drone bombed barracks hosting soldiers from the 72nd Mechanized Brigade in Bila Tserkva.[28]
Ukrainian soldiers claim they can be heard from several kilometers away and are vulnerable to small arms fire.[29]
Ukrainian sources stated they deployed MiG-29 fighter aircraft to shoot down these drones with success, claiming that they used a similar
strategy to shoot down cruise missiles such as the Kalibr.[30]
October waves[edit]
These aircraft participated in the October missile strikes that disabled large sections of the Ukrainian power grid.[31] On 13 October 2022, a Ukrainian MiG-29 crashed in Vinnytsia while attempting to shoot down a Geran-2. According to Ukrainian sources, the drone detonated near the jet and shrapnel struck the cockpit which forced the pilot to eject.[32][33]
In the morning of October 17th Kyiv was once again attacked by several of these drones, and once again they were engaged by massed ground fire from small-caliber automatic weapons, as captured on video in a number of instances. Despite the presence of these and more adequate air-defense systems, the drones reportedly managed to hit several locations, including the offices of Ukrenergo. Other energy infrastructure facilities were also reported to be attacked, leading to concerns of blackouts around the affected infrastructure. 4 civilians in Kyiv were killed in the strike.[34][35][36]
The Ukrainian Minister of Internal Affairs has told civilians to stop attempting to shoot down drones with their personal firearms, urging them to "leave the matter to law enforcement officers and the military".[37] The cost-benefit analysis of using these drones in strikes versus the defending air defense is in favor of the Shahed drones, being about half the cost of the defenses- such as emplaced surface-to-air missile systems- employed against them.[3] The shooting down of the drones after they have reached cities can lead to large-scale collateral damage.[3]

I wish more people realize how incredibly close we are to ww3.
Read this story. You've got to be shitting me.
A Russian fighter jet fired a missile while shadowing a Royal Air Force recon plane on patrol over the Black Sea, UK says
Moscow said it was a technical problem, but the Russian military has engaged in provocative actions around US and NATO forces in the Black Sea before.www.yahoo.com
(The irony is I'm pretty sure if my memory is correct Alas Babylons fictional ww3 started off by an aircraft accidentally launching a missile during heightened tensions)
Where is Britain and where is Black Sea? What was he patrolling? Too bad he wasn't hit. FUCK HIM!!!
Russians should give a few drones to Irish Republican Army to return a favor for arming Ukraine.
Technical details aside, what is he wrong about?
Are the russians not using iranian drones?
Does the use of drones reveal russian desperation?
