why doesn't Russia set up air defenses along their border to stop drones? they let them get all the way to a city before trying to shoot them down
they fly low and there's a vast area to defend. almost all of russia's air defense is concentrated in moscow and st. petersburg, so it's open season on the rest of the country
>>541124392Along the boarder is the first AD layer. When hohol shoot 1K swarm, most of it is hit there yes.
>>541124392Russia simply cannot afford to put air defense to cover their borders with Ukraine, especially given the risk of valuable and limited AD equipment being damaged. They use it to guard their elites and let the rest of their citizens live in fear.
>>541124392Russia is to large to cover to block cheap drones it cheaper to repair the damage AD is expensive as fuck
>>541124472The drones reach moscow and st. pidorsberg regularly, though
>>541124568>>541124506>>541124472>>541124392the entire muttmerica military AA got obliterated by Iran in just one place... you golems have no idea how hard is to defend a massive airspace even for a superpower
>>541124599i know, because even in the most defended areas, russia still can't stop them
>>541124621good seethe lol
>>541124568>>541124589>>541124621At some point the retards in the MIC and military have to understand you can't use missiles to take down these drone. We need flak and auto turrets ffs
>>541124392Did it ever occur to you that Russia isn't the military power it presents itself as?Iran sure wasn't as formidable as we were lead to believe.
>>541124589now not, they use fpvs and cheap rockets launched from helicopters. The hit rate of hohols is like 1.5% and with military targets its pretty much zero. That is why the only thing they can reach is some random wildberries. Also the AD should be very cheap because Ukraine launches all drones EU industry can produce.
>>541124753This isn't about offensive military power ffs, it's about strategic defense.
>>541124621>my fanfiction is actually canonCNN isn’t canon anymore
>>541124816they can't defend their strategic assets. that's the implication
>>541124392Drones move too low and slow for long-range radars to detect them - so you'd need either close-range radars every couple kms across 4k km border, or more AWACS planes than Russia has in total permanently in the air. And then if you missed the detection window to shoot it the drone is gone invisible again.
>>541124816also if you remember american Hornets with AI that hohols were shooting to cut Crimea supply a few month ago, they were a thing only less than a few months. Everything is developing fast there, NATO can’t come up with new shit.
They can, could've, literaly shoot close to anything down shot thus far..But you retards don't understand what favorable calculations are in the grand scheme of things.
>>541124976>Drones move too low and slow for long-range radars to detect themIt does seem to be a detection issue. >>541124971My point is they only defend strategic assets, not every thing else. Let's say the cartels started spamming drones over the mexican border, we'd beef that shit up with AA defenses the entire way.
>>541125085you couldn’t even defend your bases in middle east kek
>>541125085>My point is they only defend strategic assetsyeah and they can't even defend those because the drones still get through
>>541125124>all the bases are le destroyedok
>>541124831> larping as strong muricalmao
>>541124392because they reach russia from kazakhstan and baltics
>>541125333and?
>>541124392>why doesn't Russia set up air defenses along their border to stop drones?They were and Ukraine blew them up.>they let them get all the way to a city before trying to shoot them downbecause they don't have enough now and moved them to surround smaller area's.>inb4 zigger says russia hasn't even used 10% of it's military yet or some 6000 year old cope.
They are drunk.
>>541124568They've literally been increasingly saying that private businesses/citizens are on their own for air defense.
Drones can fly over the black sea or Belarus? They don't need a straight line OP
>>541127354At a certain point these commercial ships are all going to have anti drone weapons on board.
>>541124392Russians can't find their ass with a flashlight
