Do you have an idea how hard it is to detect drones?

Combine that with the up-to-date intelligence on Russian radar positions from NATO.

The Ukrainian drone team said they lose drones like every other day and there’s constantly videos of Orlan-10 drones being shot down with manpads on /r/combatfootage

They aren’t using high-end MQ-9 type of drones in this theater.

The Russian air defence has improved quite a bit since the front lines got established and units concentrated.

Is it reflective of a lack of anti-drone AA technology that these systems are all missile based? Would it not make more sense / cost less to use a mini gun like the US Phalanx system?

The range on the missile is greater, but it seems that most of these drones are being shot down in visible range. Is this just using existing equipment that might not be completely suited for the task?

Usually not. Especially for suicide drones. The gun platforms absolutely exist (Shilka, for instance) but the chances of actually seeing the drone and hitting it in time before it's over the horizon are minimal. That's why Ukros have such a hard time even with slower missiles like Moskit.

These drones get shot down when some radar happens to catch them.

Yeah it’s crazy anti drone tech beyond electronic warfare hasn’t been the #1 research priority for the military over a decade ago (and the Russians have EW teams with every BTG while the Americans keep them as separate units and way less of them at that). Every battalion should have multiple lighter weight CWIS type auto-cannons or small cheap missiles to counter them.

It’s crazy to me that they are still gambling on expensive laser systems still barely rolled out or trying to truck mount the Phalanx which was built for ships.

They still find plenty of time to debate whether tanks are still useful.

LOL, and where were these Tors when the refinery in Rostov was hit? Or the S-400? Or the Pantsir? This is nothing but a fake propaganda video.

You already said the missile defence systems they have are poorly suited for drones but yeah.

stopping cruise missiles is always like what hit their ammo depots recently is way harder in practice.

But everyone knows how poorly trained and dumb the average Russian soldier is. Thats been said a billion times on Reddit.

Ukraine used to be able to fly helicopters into Mariupol for the first month then once Russians got some practice they all got shot down and that basically ended the siege.

I think you might be overestimating the range of miniguns

Interesting. The deployed systems are Kasta-2E2(39Н6) and Nebo-M (as claimed, these systems radically improve detection of a low observable air targets on a large distances), S-300V (probably the V4 version), and the TOR-M2.

Mini gun range is a few km. They're good if you (or targets near you) are attacked, but not useful for covering larger areas.

Who do you think is neck deep in propaganda? Me, a person with a proven track record of being neutral and also hating America, or you, a person that is very clearly an unhinged nationalist that was getting drunk and linking fake russian unity music videos on groomercord?

Proven as in confirmed by a map drawn by some NGO in a NATO country? Nothing you believe has been proven at all, lol, you just have blind faith reinforced with a confirmation bias.

Example - couple of weeks ago you were doing victory laps over some shitty MLRS being shipped to Ukraine. As though that would be a game-changer in artillery duels. Do you still remember that? Of course not, your prior statements are memory-holed if they don't align with reality.

Where did you get that idea? I read ukrosources all the fricking time. Even their general staff reports (which are usually a pretty good indication of where the frontline is). In fact - I don't even really have much access to official Russian propaganda. I find it to be too cringe to sit through.

People on this site who generally shit on other for linking to BBC, Guardian, other clearly one sided western sources or anything from Ukro gov - themselves mostly link to third rate blog sites, pro russian twitter or state paid media.

Or badly made fake videos, just like the opposition

So at the very least sources they take their news from are equally shit.

And they believe same level of shit as an average redditor, just supplied form a different side.

This system was used two days ago to shoot down 24 incoming rockets, including four Tochka-U ballistic missiles, all aimed at Snake Island. The Ukrainians wanted to scorch the island in preparation for a helicopter landing. Since all the incoming rockets and missiles were shot down, they aborted the landing and attacked some undefended nearby oil rigs instead (civilian installations).

The oil rigs that Ukraine attacked yesterday were Ukrainian rigs that Russian are controlling atm. But in general Russian successfully defended snake island yesterday, much better than month ago.
