Ukraine is suffering a tremendous loss of 10,000 drones each month, largely due to Russia’s electronic warfare — a “critical” component of Moscow’s military tactics, a recent report said.

Russia’s use of tech defense systems has contributed to the staggering loss of Ukrainian aerial drones — approximately 10,000 each month, according to the latest Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) report.

Russia deployed a high density of electronic warfare equipment in Donbas in 2022. They have since increased their supply.

Russia now has a system every six miles along the war’s 750-mile-long frontline.

No worries, a US military “accounting error” will replace them.

Everything they told Americans about this war has been a lie.

More likely, this cannot be because there is no way that Ukraine has enough drones to lose 10k a month.

They’re preparing the public to find out the Ukraine has lost. They don’t want to admit they’ve been lying to us all this time, falsely claiming Russia was losing, so now we’re seeing posts like “Russia has adapted and is now lethal - not like their clumsy efforts in the past” and “Oh, electronics are helping Russia” after claiming Russian soldiers were hapless incompetents.

I wonder why all of a sudden the MSM is starting to let through the occasional article showing Russian success?

“More likely, this cannot be because there is no way that Ukraine has enough drones to lose 10k a month.”

What is interesting even though Russia is likely lying, they might have developed a decent drone defense. I remember there were tons of cheap Ukraine drone attacks. Haven’t seen one in a while. Russia lost a ton of military equipment to these cheap drones, maybe they figured something out?

You have to ask yourself, when is the government telling us the truth on any issue.

Covid All Lies
Jan 6. All Lies
The economy all lies
The border all lies
Ukraine all lies

It’s a constant stream of lies about everything.
