Every air force in the world is shitting in their clothes watching what happened to that airbase.
All armed forces are probably on a permanent anxiety attack with everything drone related that’s happening in the war in Ukraine.
Outside of keeping everything in deep bunkers there’s not much defense possible against all the attack vectors drones open up.
Military bases boutta start putting up 24/7 point defense systems
I mean, a moderately solid brick building would have stopped this attack. Not even a hardened shelter, just a garage would have worked.
A competent pilot would’ve flown in throw the garage door, or down a chimney, or through a window. That’s the terrifying thing about drones, they are extremely maneuverable. They can be positioned in the precise point to make the most damage to the target.
wonder how useless is the whole military industrial complex.
countless funds go into the most expensive machines in the world, that can only be used to kill.
and are useless against cheap drones.
It’s not really the plane’s fault, even a solid roof would’ve helped. Also the tu-95 is far from the most expensive.
And to be fair to the old thing, tu-95’s job description never included countering small drones, nor should any other plane be concerned with that, while on the ground at least. It’s not their job simply. Don’t judge a fish by how well it climbs a tree and all that.
The major downsides (be it quads or fixed wing) are connectivity and payload weight. There is progress of course, but they can’t do every job in the world, and if you increase the scope of their responsibilities, the price goes up as well.
They cooked with the shipping container ngl
I dream of the day when war will be won just with such burns.
I dream of the day war consists of 2 people playing drone chess. And when the robots lose, the humans just surrended
