      they would be better off investing more money in careful training of operators, or they’ll cover the wedding, or just a house with a sleeping family ... it’s not the machine itself or the drone that kills, but the one who pulled the trigger or controller

        Exactly. Back in the USSR, I somehow came across a translated article in "Abroad" about the wild markups of the American military-industrial complex, there was a quote for a hammer blow during the construction of a submarine - $ 120)))) Probably exaggerated, but not much))))

          Most likely downplayed. The wages there are very interesting, for example, if for some reason the robot trolley has deteriorated, for delivering parts from one workshop to another, the price for manual transportation (on the same trolley only operated by a person) can reach one hundred greens per meter of track . USA, it's a wonderland. In the literal and figurative sense.

        The key question. Even more, it is necessary to consider the entire system of such weapons. A small airplane controlled by satellite throws a small bomb at targets for which not weak masses of specialists worked. Such a financial impression, in order to slam a fly, they make a catapult for an elephant ....

        What a difference how many these bombs cost. You can use these bombs only against the Papuans. And this is equivalent to throwing supercars on cockroaches.

        The Russian "dome" system will detonate these bombs even under the wings of the UAV. And it will be an act of humanity. Since it can send this UAV back to the customer.

          I already wrote about this. Well, I do not believe that a person who knows Russian proverbs, sayings and all our allegories so well and can use them so skillfully in everyday speech can be a Dutchman (I am very ashamed - then I mixed up his flag with French) . And I assure you - this is not even a Negro. He writes too much in Russian. So - the project-entertainment of our Russian man, who is no longer a youth, and probably has a higher education. Whether I am not a liberal or not, I can’t judge. And if Negroes get to work for such a thing, then the work of the whole Russian-speaking department is needed. In FIG them such hemorrhoids?

          "for single excavators" ////

          A militant excavator is a more important target than a tank.
          What do shelters in rocky terrain, trenches or bunkers dig?
          A shovel will not work. And a hoe ... picking stones.
          So those who laugh at the destroyed excavator are bad

            Warrior Wow, somehow I had a better opinion of you. It seems that with the departure of the Professor, his duties were thrown to you. Please tell me, if these excavators are as important as the tanks, then there must be a sufficiently large number of them. Why are we only laughing at two destroyed units? Where is the army of destroyed excavators? Then bulldozers, tankers, and any convoy vehicle are just as important. Where are the destroyed trucks with dry rations? Today our president spoke about satellite imagery.

            At a briefing following the G20 summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the Islamic State (a terrorist organization officially banned in Russia) is financed by individuals from 40 countries, including a number of G20 member states.
            The head of state said that he shared with his G20 colleagues information about the channels of financing terrorism. "My colleagues and I discussed this issue. I hope that we will continue to continue this work, which is extremely important for the fight against terror," he stressed, reports Lenta.ru.
            The President also indicated that it is necessary to prevent the illegal sale and receipt of proceeds by terrorists from oil and oil products. “I also showed our colleagues images from space and from aircraft, which clearly show the scale of this illegal trade,” Putin added.
            He described the pictures as follows: "The columns of tanker vehicles are stretched for tens of kilometers, so that from a height of 4-5 thousand meters they go beyond the horizon. It looks like an oil pipeline system."
            Are excavators more important?

    Against no air defense "abreks" will be effective. In the end, why launch an expensive rocket or drop a powerful bomb when, to defeat 1 person, a much less powerful b / h is enough. And in general, drones are a REAL threat to enemy troops (miniature size, low altitude, meager cost, compared to an anti-aircraft missile, the same S-300, massive use, etc.) make UAVs a powerful weapon, and a small mass of missiles / bombs, for UAVs, dramatically increases the capabilities of attack unmanned aircraft (with a low mass of a rocket, you can make a "strike" UAV from a "reconnaissance").

    If the b / h will even weigh no more than 1 kilogram, but will hit the roof of the tower and / or MTO, then what is the most protected tank in the world, will it really not feel it? At 1,8 kg b / h, you can quite easily place a TANDEM charge of explosives, which, attacking the thinnest armor from above, will be able to flash armored vehicles through and through the roof to the bottom!

    Such ammunition is needed to reduce collateral damage. You can, for example, hit an armored car in a city without hitting others. This will reduce riots in the controlled territories.
