Something surprising from the frontlines: https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidhambling/2024/05/09/shotguns-are-russias-last-defense-against-drones/?sh=96f3c137142a (Archived version here.) But yeah, seems the crude solutions are the best and most straightforward sometimes. At the very least...

My God, how the Russians just can't help themselves! 🤦‍♂️

More old weapons being put to new uses:

More WSJ reporting, because Russia just keeps going at it:

More arms deliveries, this time consisting of "older" kit: Again, morbidly fascinating to watch warfare evolve in real time. Lots of cutting-edge stuff making their debut here, but no one said dated weapons can't be put to new use.

More drone stuff: Gotta' admit, it's morbidly fascinating to watch warfare evolve in real time. May not be the first conflict to deploy combat drones, but it sure as heck won't be the last.
