Those Russians who know Russia/Finland history would be far more worried if they thought they had Finnish crews because Finland has beaten Russia so thoroughly without fail in the past.

Goodness that's a fast missile. That aircraft must have been tens of km away when he fired, and it impacted only a few seconds after launch. What's the top speed of these systems?
~2,5 times faster than cruise missile

My bad, I thought it was an aircraft. A cruise missile would be easily IFF discernable and flying straight, so a good target.

Countering shahed drones with drones. I expected something glamorous like a dogfighter machine gun armed drone

But apparently they will basically throw bricks at them.
The Ukranian version seems a little bit more streamlined, but a brick nonetheless.
I know, I know, if its effective, who cares about the glamour, but it's hard to resist the brrrrrrrttttt factor

Nothing that has not been already discussed here, but interesting anyway that a supposedly expert think tank reaches the same conclussions than us, arm chair generals, in this thread.
So what about those F-16 and LEO-2 ?
8/ @TheStudyofWar forecasts with high confidence that #Putin will not seek to engage NATO militarily at this time in response to the provision of any of the Western military systems currently under discussion.
9/ #Russia is barely holding off the Ukrainian military at a fearful cost to itself and Russian forces in #Ukraine could not survive a serious conflict with NATO at this time.
10/ The risks of deliberate Russian escalation to a major conflict with NATO in the foreseeable future are thus extremely low.

High power lasers can destroy those drones in the air; no other weapon is needed.Informative artical on Ukraine's anti-UAV defense efforts.

Question is if high-powered lasers are more expensive than more conventional solutions.

Initially, yes. You won't run out of ammo, though.

I don't think we're at the man portable laser weapons yet. Unless there's a deuce and a half with a generator following the troop.

But you do need a reliable power source, and at the moment that seems to be an issue.
