However, what is the cost of the target that the $20K UAV is about to destroy?Although cheaper than most current AA missiles, $150K is still far from the $20K cost of the target it intends to destroy.
Because doing so would make them no better than the Russians and take away any 'moral high ground' they might have.What I do not understand is why Ukraine has not destroyed the electrical and water supply systems in Crimea. Yes they want to recover the area but leaving the Russian military there with full electrical and water services is, to me, a mistake. After 8 years of Russian maintenance these systems are probably on the brink of failure anyway so will need upgrading once the orcs are banished.
This guy's Testis!!!!!This man has yayechka!
Large and pricey SAMs, yes. But from what I've read the cheapest and most effective weapon against the Shahed would be the Vampire missiles. Small, highly accurate, relatively cheap at under US$28k per missile, needing only a single projectile to kill (Gepard, for example needs to fire dozens of hard to replace shells to score a single kill), and as mobile as the cheap civilian-spec vehicle moving them.
I'm not advocating for letting them get through. I'm advocating for destroying them as cost effectively as possible. Actually stinger is cheaper than Perigrine and doesn't require an aircraft to carry it, just a guy in the ground, but still not cost effective.However, what is the cost of the target that the $20K UAV is about to destroy?
I disagree. I would suggest that the time to knock out the electrical infrastructure in the Crimea is just before you attack with the land forces. Then try to hit as much of it as you can in one go. As the attacks are continuing, the Ukraine are getting better and better at shooting the drones down and just as importantly, getting better at repairing the damage.Agreed, though the climate is tropical, so Ivan won't be freezing. Apparently there were plans to blow up the bridges between Crimea and Kherson if Ivan invades, but the Ukrainian officers in charge betrayed their country. But no matter, now is the time to hit Crimea's infrastructure.
Really, if we all think about it, we know what the Ukraine really need, what they need is a P39A-10 may even be too fast for Shahed 136. They reportedly fly slower than A-10 stall speed. So is cruise speed of An-2.
Not to mention that GAU-8 is probably overkill by several orders of magnitude. Nevertheless I assume its cheaper to use than wasting missiles on those drones.
They are capable of operating, finding and attacking targets in all weather conditions and day or night.Will it would be nice to have the A-10 blasting RuAF UAV, how would they locate the UAV at night and/or bad weather?

I do hope that there is a special place in hell for people who do this kind of thing
Never give up hope on how long it might take..... https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/irmgard-furchner-nazi-concentration-camp-secretary-trial-1.6691972Hopefully we can bring them to justice in this world, where we can see it unfold.
