https://twitter.com/pati_marins64/status/1683853058311168003 he Russian Lancets are effective, but we're not seeing the whole picture. The 40km range of the Lancets is suitable for the local communication network, and this is the exact problem. When the drone detects an enemy unit, it has to send t...

You can argue all variables will not be same but massive domestic drone production capacities are required. From chips, optics to final fabrication - all components need to be domestically produced and in massive amounts. During war chips will not be supplied to India in numbers it will need. That k...

^^^ On twitterverse there was a video of lancet hitting troops. With someone implying that this is due to 10X reduction in cost + Increase in supplies. Lancets + Russian EW will change this war a lot. Also lancets will mostly be able to procure all the electronics needed for production from china. W...

there is a podcast Saigon, 1965 by Malcolm gladwell that talks about a RAND study that analysed vietcong prisoners to understand how far they will go in resisting US.

If Lancet is so effective, then why does Ukrainian still has so many NATO supplied howitzers on the battlefield. The kill chain should have been simple. Counter battery radar picks up the gun firing. Russian army fires Lancet in general direction. With a specific location as target. Locate and kill...

It is very interesting to see how western companies are eager to get involved in Ukraine's reconstruction and look forward to this economic opportunity.

His channel is quite good and being a Russian speaker, he uses Russian sources. However, his numbers (quoting the Russian MOD) are ridiculous. I have debunked them in my blog.

moving against mined defences is very very tough. Russia found it first, then Ukraine. But gaining air superiority and being able to fly bomb trucks unloading iron bombs over logistics/infra hubs is very desirable.

this idea has surfaced on this forum before as well. The informed opinion on this aspect has been that engine to frame de-coupling is not as easy as it sounds. Its very difficult especially as the complexity of fighters have increased now a lot compared to earlier era.

You are correct basant. I read that too, about the fund release being tied to the ToT (screwdrivergiri of the F414 turbofan).
