Why isn't anybody asking what is Iran's, Russia's and China's response to cheap, mass produced AND good western drones?
>>65205649Over there, life is cheap, I hear
>>65205649Neither Russia nor Iran have any sort of proper response to this kind of attack. China might be tinkering with Microwave weapons to fry the drone swarms mid-air. I know for a fact that the US is experimenting with this concept.
I don't know about the other 2 but we get daily/weekly videos of Russia's response to cheap, mass produced drones.

China is investing massively in counter drone tech. Perun went in depth on this in his coverage of last year's parade (timestamped for your convenience). This vehicle has 24 launchers each with 4 missiles each. Very implessive.https://youtu.be/IRts6IVMelA?t=1745
>>65205649Of the three, only Russia has been retarded enough to attack another country. Iran doesn't matter in general, and nobody is going to attack China (especially now with the US expending most of its munitions on a country that is of no strategic importance), so they don't need to worry about getting attacked by shasneeds or shasneed equivalents.
>>65205649We know two of the three's reponses already>Iran can't do shit>Russia can't do shitchinks are the only ones that have yet to be tested
>>65205863For a country that just (presumably) executed the people in charge of two of their most advanced weapons programs I think it's safe to say they're at the "another forty years" point still.
>>65205649We have literal hours of footage of Russia's solutions to the drone issue.So far very few of them have proven particularly effective.
>>65205719Cheap is relative, for example $30-60k for 1-2 Warmates to destroy equipment worth milions is still very, very affordable and they don't have to be manually guided by one guy per drone the whole wayFiber optic FPV drones are actually more expensive if you consider cost/effect ratio and not the unit cost, you need multiple and often even dozens of manually operated FPVs to do the job of 1-2 quality western dronesAnd that's not even getting into the time, labour and safety of drone operators because thirdies themselves don't seem to value those things too much

The Hornet drone logistics interdiction would work great in the Gulf Arab states that have few highways and zero places to hide. Say bye to inland bases.
>>65205649What mass produced western drones?
>>65205649>russiaThey are doing what can either some are successful and some are faliure and change plan next time>iran They know they have shit old air defence that you can just regularly bomb with conventional planes. So it would be tit for tat strategy for them>chinaPropably more better mass produced defensive measure and more tit for tat strategy.
>>65206979Though I think they can take damage far well with their bug worker constantly rebuilding stuffs. But if your are smaller adversary they are going to just drone spam you to death.
>>65205649May we see these cheap, mass produced drones?Also, the threat isn't symmetric. The West is reliant on occupying the rest of the world, while merely freeing themselves from Western occupation is enough for the rest of the world. It is harder to occupy with drones than it is to drive off an occupier. If you start bombing McDonalds, it is no longer profitable for McDonalds to operate; while it is harder to force people to spend money at McDonalds under the threat of droning.
