The scale is also diffrent as Ukraine doesn't have anywhere near as many aircraft sorties flying. CAS ones as well as AD ones, SEAD, Dead,. Etc. It is less drones and more of the fact that the US battle space, as most are lessons learned from Ukraine, is multi domain and a mobility aspect to it...

No, not petty politics. Actual issues encountered. if you have an artillery mission in an area and you also have a drone that is flying in the arc of the artillery. it is something that allows for use of all equipment withiut worrying about airspace being cloged up and even with IFF, in a high...

This is actually due to branch independence. The Aemy doesn't have access to a 35 ir reapers. We have Grey Eagles and Apaches. And this also goes into a whole aspect of war often forgotten. Air space. as in the physical aspect. you jave to manage all of that and the fact that if gets very...

What Sailor said is one way, another is actually the fact that it depends solely on the battlefield. For instance in the US Army we use attack helicopters for a lot, and with the capability to use Spike A2G missiles, the giant bulb on the apache comes in handy. The Longbow enables the capability...

Bigger ones are yes, but we are no where near the level that has them operate the same as a helicopter. And there will just be an increase in countermeasures for helicopters in the near future. Mainly because drones will not be capable enough for CAS in the same way

Nit able to carry AS much as a helicopter And they were made knowing SHORADs exist. The thing is, it's why we have HARMs that can be fired from helicopters, and things like that. It allows CAS organic to the Army and a loitering time higher then any drone, due to the fact they are not as capable...

I don't think so. Drones are not as nimble as a helicopter, in the sense of CUAV, and FPV drones, while numerous and small, arnt guranteed to always be able to have them over large swathes. Attack copters are able to cover large areas and have multiple ways of taking out various things

No...you heard nothing. The eclipses are not man made I swear

ECM is the easiest way, but there are plenty of other ways involving just the one method. It isn't just jamming. But thay is a sphere I sadly can not comment on

It is only useful in the context of a peer to peer at thw lowest levels. It isn't anything super new either. US has been facing forms of it before 2022 in Iraq and A-stan as the groups there adapted. Drones arnt some magic complete change of war. It adds another tool to a layer that has...

Jamming is a very effective way to counter UAVs. That and anti drone SHORAD. Drones have a place but will not replace what we already have, just add to it.

The jammers I am talking about arnt just sitting targets. But that is as far as I can go with that that revolves around nodes of some sort if WAP. So useless in time of war because that doesn't exist in the capacity you would need. Because we would. The kind of drone swarms we are talking...

Jamming can be done by means that are a lot further away We did have guidance before GPS, radio guidance for old school drones and IR. But thay guidance is done manually and is even easier to disrupt. that isna decent point, but for the scale of them needed not really. they would see the laser...

So how do you defeat passive radio and GPS jamming which will be deployed? because any kind of initial gudianxe once it loses connection will require GPS, and that GPS can be jammed and you would have to require it to be visually guided. the issue with using say a muzzle flash, is unlike in...

I don't think you understand the kind of sensors needed for that. You would have to have a system that has an in built identification system, like what the Jav has, on a small drone, as well as have one that would not be weighed down by what would equal 20 something pounds. Which is a lot for a...

Shahed arnt small though. I am thinking small as in civilian bought ones

Not faster then a prop plane but also a lot smaller. Would need more air burst munitions to deal woth modern drones

While true, a blanket statement can turn those that would often be neutral or on your side against you.

Basically, we have tons if evidence, from thise who have tested it, tons if articles, and the company and the military itself showing we have no trailer.

Both are from the official websites of the companies making them. They may not out the exact generation capabilities. But thru every document we have, and the knowledge that this thing would be scrapped if it relied upon a external power source as it is supposed to be able to move and fire. The...
