How is Ukraine managing to coordinate their forces? In Gulf War the first thing we did was take out all the command and control centres to prevent Hussein and military leadership communicating with troops in the field.
Iraq did not have a proper command system in the first place, what little they had was infiltrated by US because Saddam used to be an US ally.

The gdp ratio was also much more in US favor, a country with comparable gdp ratio to Russia vs Ukraine for US would be Iran, not Iraq. Access to air defense is also worlds apart, with Ukraine having very large amounts of 1 generation behind Russian weapons whereas Iraq had mostly anti aircraft guns.

In short, the Iraq war can only be compared in scope to Russian conflicts in Chechnya or Georgia, in the terms that these were conflicts between Russia and heavily infiltrated barely independent states with no major equipment access.

It look like his 8 missiles are fired, we can see 8 empty tubes on top. On the beginning of the footage we can see smoke lines from missiles launches. Probably got baited for the lancet strike.
A Ukrainian general said that the Russians have started to use the Gerans as bait and hunt the SAM systems with Lancets afterwards.

Today it was also published that a convoy of 4 S-300 launchers was hunted on the move in addition to a German Gepard.
From the Gepard we have confirmation:

Meanwhile according to Kiev:

That's some pretty big hit if Russians managed to catch a whole AD group on the move and took out both the SHORAD and all the TELs it was protecting, wonder how they managed that.
Rybar geolocated the destroyed TOR of yesterday in the area where the upcoming offensive is going to take place (in theory), I bet they have put many resources in monitoring the area ...

If Geran have a sensor system they could scout with until it hit is target would facilitate the process. We didn't see sensor equipped ones but Iranian ones can have one as an option supposedly. A little gimbal and glonass could path aa system on the way. Geran being noisy gain attention of AA guns even if not detected on radar. Clearly a jerk drone.
