I am not any kind of tactical genius, but if I were Putin I would take them out as soon as they reached Ukrainian territory and before they could be unloaded or deployed

The White House leaks like a sieve. And Gen Milley is too busy pick nail polish colors to be bothered with operational security.

“So...the Deep State is Russia...”

~~~~~~~

THAT’S your take from my comment?

It seems the Deep State is your team!

What next level weapons system are you going to have them send the Ukrainian Nazi force next, when your switchblades fail to get Putin to start popping off nukes?

Hmm?

~Easy

“Are the Ukrainians trained to operate all these Bond-villain toys?”

During Hi-Tech type of Munitions or any other technology there is a level to which the weapon is designed to.

MANPADs have been simplified probably to the common foot soldier user levels (numbers and other iconography) plus a bit of weapons familiarity.

I want one of those switchblade drones. No, I want LOTS of them. They sound really cool. Just imagine the idiots that can be permanently removed from the roads for driving like a-holes.

My junior high football team kept things closer to the vest than this....which leads me to believe it’s deliberate......obama did the same thing.

There ya go...

They offed a US citizen that had gone to the dark side of Islam without a trial. That was done in Yemen of course, but hey! Its a GLOBAL WAR on “TERROR” just like we all wanted 9/12/2001, right? The US is part of the Globe, isn’t it?

Just gotta make sure the operators are all good with exactly who is an “enemy combatant” or a “confirmed terrorist” [domestic though they may be...).

White House personnel text everything to their media contacts. See my tagline.

“That same package also included 2,000 more Javelin anti-tank missiles, 800 Stinger missiles, and 7,000 lighter AT-4 and LAW single-shot anti-tank weapons. “

Some people think the Russians can’t or won’t interdict these shipments.

Ukraine obviously isn’t as corrupt as Putinists dreamt it was. This isn’t the Ukraine of 2014 when Putin’s stooge Yanukovych had purposefully emasculated the Ukrainian Army. Hilariously, Putinist Russia has been shown to be everything it accuses Ukraine of: hollow and corrupt.

At least they’ll relish the next opportunity they have to return the favor on some American moms son.

For what?

So here is what I am projecting. Some will be captured and make their way back to Russia and China to be studied and reproduced. About 25% of the shots will be at Ukrainians and civilians. But thats ok because its war you know. And the rest will destroy property and Russians. So, a 40% efficacy rate will do for the US Army. They will take that as a win.

Our defense contractors rub their hands in glee. And congress critters get more kickbacks for their families and campaigns. And retired Generals lobby them, and join more boards, getting very wealthy.

All because the TikTok generation got purposely wound up into “Ukraine Good! Russia Bad!” mode, now that covid is gone.

What a scam. IDGAFAUOR.

Fortunately, we now know those missing billions didn’t go into gas for the Russian army.

I’ve seen lots of drones in American stores, all made in China.

Maybe if Putin asks nicely, Xi will make him 5000 Chinese copies of the Pentagon’s latest and an equal number for the PLA.

Almost every male adult Russian immigrant to the USA has had Russian military training from compulsory military service and can shoot a gun accurately.


Trained as conscripts - they did so well in Ukraine combat.
