What air defense doing?
What air defense
doing?Sleeping
The dumb little thief used most of Russia's massive AA missile stockpile to commit war crimes (bombard civilians) after they ran low of their actual missiles (because they bombarded the civilians so much). They simply haven't got that many left. Also, Ukrainians got really good at finding and destroying the launchers. They have few missiles and fewer launchers still left. The few that are left are in use in the warzone, not 600km behind it.

I think they're busy not protecting the boats in the Black sea. It takes a lot of effort to not protect those boats, and they haven't got any spare personnel left over to not protect aircraft.
Meanwhile the soldiers on the ground will have to not protect themselves.
Hell if you're going to be conscripted by Russia then your best help is to get conscripted into air defence because it apparently doesn't involve doing anything.

Noob question, do the Russians even use their bombers? I only hear about rocket strikes.
They use them to launch Kh-22 missiles.
Ah thanks for the info
Some of their rockets are air to ground, and need planes to launch them.
Good.
Slava Ukraini!
As neat as it is to see all these drone strikes on Russian resources. I am very concerned of eventual migration to drone swarms on either side. You aren't taking out a swarm easily, it will reach whatever goal it intends. Whatever it may be.
Things like that are true with any new weapon. The C-Ram or the new laser weapon navy has should work well against.
Rheinmetall had video showing their done defense, it was made in 2021 https://youtu.be/pb5_F4_Eod8?t=3s
Yup. The future of war, and with that the future of humanity, is pretty bleak unless we manage to get some dialog on arms control going again.
Either we manage to negotiate a treaty for autonomous weapon systems, or we’re all going to see what Second Variety looks like up close.

I would think the future of defense against drones is directed energy weapons.
Just so we're clear, this is the one Russia reported as being "slightly damaged" right?
