Ukraine definitely needs to hold on longer. They also should maintain the aggressive attacks on oil and fuel facilities. Reducing those facilities to ruble will strangle Russia’s ability to generate income for the next decade.

1·4 days agoThat’s the other 15% of course.
Drones are replacing artillery and aircraft as the primary weapon of power on the battlefield. That 85% number is truly remarkable.
In previous conflicts that’s about the percentage of casualties and equipment losses that aircraft and artillery combined caused.
Two things stood out to me.
Defense Minister Ruslan Umerov said 96% of all drones fielded by the Ukrainian military are domestically manufactured.
About 85% of all Russian casualties and vehicle kills on the battlefield are scored by Ukrainian drones.
That means so 82% of the effective combat activity is domestically produced.
My son’s group in middle school hosted their own proxy overseas. They then pirated a whole bunch of educational videos that the teachers liked to use and made nice clean interface. The games pages had no direct links on the educational videos screens. They had to type in the the page directly in the URL.
So the teachers all loved the site and gave the official “approved for all students” bypass on the districts Chromebooks. The kids had uninterrupted access to all their games.
The kids were smart enough to keep the location of the games to students with a B or higher GPA. Most of the teachers turned a blind eye to them playing games when they did get caught. The games pages also had a home button that sent the students screens to a random educational video. I was truly impressed with their clever approach.
The IT department either never caught on or enjoyed the games themselves because its still up and they are all in highschool now.
Makes it much easier for the drone operator to get all of the passengers with the shrapnel.
Off topic but I wonder how many of those navy drones Taiwan is looking at developing.
They would make any invasion fleet China sends a new reef on the bottom of the sea.
The larger impact around the globe that Ukraine has done with these drones will be felt for decades. A few converted fishing boats carrying these have the ability to sink ships of the most powerful navies in the world .
