This. The fire departments in my country measure the danger zone for tanker truck explosions in kilometers. Not even weapons grade explosives.
There are numerous videos of people idly watching a fire hundreds of meters away (burning truck, or factory) and then the crowd panics when half a truck lands next to them.
Drones aren’t CAS. Not the way this article uses the term anyways. They are talking about destroying large groups of enemies. Drones can’t do that. They do small pockets of enemy. Again, it is the opposite of what the article describes. Not an analogue.
To be frank: I don’t see the analogue. To use the methods employed in that article requires air supremacy, not just air superiority. That is a luxury Ukraine will never have. Why? russian aircraft will always have the technological advantage even if they refuse to use it, the dramatic increase in the efficacy and prevalence of MANPADS means, unlike what most say regarding Tank usefullness, the era of CAS is all but over, and finally, Ukraine simply does not have even close to the overwhelming amount of air forces the NATO coalition brought to bear.
As russia’s air defense attrition reaches critical levels I do expect to see a dramatic increase in Ukraine’s use and effectiveness of Air assaults on ground forces, but I will eat my hat the day a yellow and blue F16 flies over Moscow, let alone carpet bombing of russian trench lines.

This is showing combat footage involving visible humans and should have been flagged [Combat] NSFW, but, I’ll give it a one-time, non-precedential exception, because the only injury was just a flesh wound.

I understand it is cathartic to editorialize the Title and agree with the sentiment. I’m also under no illusion that this forum has a strong pro-Ukrainian bias. That said, it is convention not to editorialize titles for good reason. Mainly, that it emphasizes the bias within this forum and casts a shadow over the accuracy of the information being provided here.
No rule was broken, and I’d prefer to not go through the hassle of outright declaring it a rule. I simply ask that the community try to resist the urge to editorialize in the future. For the good of this community and Ukraine in general.
Thank you for attending this TED talk.
Honestly I was thinking I’d have to delete it for being AI slop based on the thumbnail photo, but the videos are-jaw dropping
The most important takeaway from it I got was that he called it ‘Ukraine’, and not ‘the Ukraine’.
And the bot spam in the comments don’t even bother to not repeat themselves…
i use an ad blocker and didn’t know there was a problem thank you.
Most critically, the sensors and antennas (you know, the things without which the vessel is functionally useless) are all exposed.
What’s russian for “if only losing a foot was enough”?
what am i looking at?
edit nm. “Ukrainian special services have established the supply of elements of footwear (heated insoles) with built-in explosive devices into units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.”

how russia is still able to produce this weapons at such massive rate
Russia isn’t. The majority are imported from Iran and China.
I kept expecting a drone to fall on his lap, him to mug the camera with an ‘oh shit’ look and a cut to Curb Your Enthusiasm credits.
