Not to mention western media ignoring this or trying to remove it.
The video of the interview is cut and edited so bad that anything said is fluke, lol !

That's quite a large munition used for such a vehicle. At least the crew went straight to Valhalla without a hitch.
i agree every system has its own utility and effectiveness. it is just that attack drones have been used for less. so why would they add more drones with similar characteristics?
helicopter is part of combined system of assaults and attack choppers and engine reliability/ maintenance are known to a higher degree of confidence.
this also need increasing drone operators, increasing small weopons. as drones are only used from long runways in well developed fields. it limit where and when it can show up when dealing with such large geographic area like Ukraine.
unlike drones. Ka-52/Su-25 have option of low altitude flight with protection. it is time and effectiveness important to clear area for ground troops as fast as possible. Pilot alone is not only person that is important.
I doubt these tubes for high speed missiles can be implemented on drones. with new AESA radar SEAD/DEAD against even long range SAMs possible. as helicopter can pop to high altitude fire the high speed missile and goes down to lower height.
current drones are limited to 4 weopons per sortie with far slower missiles. with no practical ability shown so far for non-symmetrical loads.
PGB need to be carried by air force. using CM/BM decrease the need of sorties. Russia maximum known sortie rate of aircraft is 300 per day.
i never said drones are only solution it is just they are way underutilized in strike form. Russia has alteast two or three manufacturing plants that make attack drones.
or they have learned from long middleast conflicts what works and what not works . remember ground troops need to be rotated for rest. they cannot wait months for airpower to soften the targets and still have to deal with insurgency. currrent low altitude flight mode is to decrease the burden on ground troops by doing classic CAS.

There is a reason why Russians don't allow their forces to operate phones during combat; their signals could be triangulated and their locations approximated for targeting by enemy forces, and for the average recruit who doesn't know better than to , these regulations are vital in keeping their forces safe.
That being said, this above moron just exposed his location to everyone and anyone looking to hunt this guy (even if using a Wi-Fi based calling service like WhatsApp), so it'll just be a matter of time before a Chechen unit or Kalibr missile finds their way to his ass.

Okay, but let's re-do the same map but showing the economic clout rather than geographic area of each country.
Yeah, it seems this is the only way to stop the Ukrainians from painting 'Z' on all their losses.
As I recall, Ukraine earlier threatened to execute all captured Russian artillery crew members because it blamed them
for committing war crimes by shelling areas with civilians. Those summary executions would be a war crime.
I liked the analysis but Cyrus, never said his editing was good. the real interview was ruined by the constant interruptions, but we get the idea.
