Ukrainians launched the biggest salvo of Flamingos during the entire war, after saving production for months. All seventeen of them. All were shot down again. Effectiveness of this wunderwaffe oscilates around 2% so far xD

If hohols didnt have drones, this war would be brutally one-sided, even with all these supplied deficit Stormshadows, Himarses etc etc.

NATO struggles to counter cheap long-range strike drones far more than Russia primarily because of economic and physical asymmetric warfare. Intercepting a $20,000 Geran drone with a $1-4M missile (PAC-3, NASAMS, IRIS-T, etc) drains defense budgets instantly. NATO heavily relies on expensive, multi-million dollar fighter jets and advanced surface-to-air systems designed for fast, high-altitude jets rather than massed low-cost threats. Drones have small RCS, travel at low speeds and low altitudes, and mask their signature near ground clutter. Air defense radars often filter out drone signals because their RCS and speed profile blend in with birds, commercial traffic, or atmospheric noise.

To close the cost gap, Russia deployed solutions like gun trucks (Shilka/ZU-23-2) integrated with thermal optics, mobile EW jamming clusters, plenty of FPV-interceptor drones models, acoustic monitoring networks to down attack drones for a fraction of the cost. Russia shoots down hundreds of them daily for much lower cost than the cost of their production. Meanwhile Westoids and their chihuaha proxies are still defenceless vs drone threat after 4 years of game-changing wars in Ukraine and Iran.

Highlighting this gap, US NORTHCOM Deputy Commander Lt. Gen. Joseph Jarrard explicitly admitted that the US is "ill-equipped" to handle cheap drone swarms due to gaps in sensors, interceptor inventory, and response speed.

>ukraine is firing dozens of domestically-made cruise missiles after we've been bombing their factories for 4 years
>this is winning somehow
to me all it shows is poor russian intelligence gathering and precision strikes. every month they fire hundreds of missiles and it achieves little to nothing. ukraine still has energy. the bridges are still intact. the factories are still pumping out advanced missiles and millions of drones.

These missiles might be assembled abroad and smuggled to Urine, they might be Western cruise missiles disguised as "Flamingos" too. Plenty of options. It would take for Russia to destroy all transport infrastructure connecting Ukraine with NATO chihuahas, such as Bolanda and Gypsyland. It already kinda happens thats why Polacks in Eastern Poland hide in basements everytime when Russian drones strike locomotives and truck parkings right to the Polish-Ukrainian border crossings. Same with sinking ships with cargo for Urine right in the Gypsy territorial waters. It would only escalate amid NATO running out of weapon and ammo xD

During the past night, 1,015 Ukrainian UAVs were destroyed over Russian regions, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense.

St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region. 144 UAVs were shot down. Based on the reported scale, this attack became one of the largest since the beginning of the Special Military Operation (SMO).

Most of them flew along the already established route through Latvia.

Let’s go over the consequences:

— UAVs attacked a VK data center in the Leningrad Region. However, VK services continue to operate normally.

— Near the data center, a UAV damaged an electrical substation. Around 20,000 people were left without electricity.

— Smoke was reported at an Ozon warehouse and an oil depot.

— In St. Petersburg, 12 apartment buildings and 2 private houses were damaged as a result of the UAV attack, according to authorities.

As a result of the attack, one person was killed and five others were injured.

https://x.com/MilitarySummary/status/2111717196434907246

1000 drone swarm using Latvia route and pretty much nothingburger again because 99% drones were shot down. More PR as usual being 0.1% of destruction Russia does in Urine daily.

By the way, Russia should finally take care of these Baltic war-pigs xD

ok pidor

Gay name for a missile. Serves them right.

>>544531490
So, you are saying russia wasted their precious anti-ballistic missiles to intercept ukie dollar store missiles?
>>
>>544533392
Flamingo is quite expensive actually, over $1M, officially.
>>
>>544533392
Russia makes those cheaply while ukraine and Britain are wasting billions of taxpayer money on this nonsence
>>
>>544533462
Russia cant even produce more of their soviet era anti-ballistics, so every missile lost is something that russia cant replace

Defense analysts and military intelligence highlight key structural reasons for Russias substantial volume advantage in surface-to-air interceptors (S-300, S-400, S-500, Pantsir, Tor, etc etc) over NATO.

Russian doctrine historically relies heavily on layered, ground-based air defense (GBAD) to counter Western air superiority, driving decades of continuous, state-funded manufacturing capacity. NATO relies primarily on air-to-air fighters rather than large GBAD interceptor stockpiles. Russia operates massive, state-owned industrial hubs (like Almaz-Antey) explicitly dedicated to mass-producing unified interceptor families. Western interceptor production (Patriot PAC-3, Aster, etc) remains constrained by complex supply chains and much lower production caps.

The IISS Military Balance 2026 Analysis documents how Russias unified, state-controlled industrial complex maintains a high-volume output of GBAD interceptors, while European NATO members face severe production bottlenecks.

https://www.iiss.org/publications/the-military-balance/2026/the-military-balance-2026/fortifying-natos-eastern-flank/

The CSIS Missile Defense Project and CSIS Geography of Coercion Analysis detail how Russias layered interceptor stockpiles (S-300/400/500, Pantsir) absolutely dwarf Western inventories optimized for air superiority rather than massed GBAD production.

>Translation from rusnigger - Ukraine was able to launch 17 cruise missiles and over a thousand of drones in a single day to bomb russia
>>544531987
>Translation from rusnigger - NATO can bomb russia with cruise missiles trough Ukraine with no repercussions whatsoever
>>
>>544531490
Yes, but "effective" doesn't buy raytheon execs new yaughts, only "expensive" does.

You made my shoes, right?

>NATO can bomb russia with cruise missiles trough Ukraine with no repercussions whatsoever
Unironically true. We'd be fucked if they attacked us back though as we've no air defences.
>>
>only ever have success with drones
>keep pumping resources into other shit though
what causes this mental illness?
just drone-max. it's the only thing that achieves any results at all for them, so focus on that.
>>
>all shot down
with what? Pantsir? Seems like russian refineries are getting hit constantly?
>>
>>544538763
the reffineries are getting hit by drones, not by the flamingos
>>
>>544538763
Pantsir is one of a variety of systems used, which vary in size and scope. The layers of defence are very well documented. As for refineries, constantly would be more akin to the constant saturation of drone and missile barrage Ukraine sustains. A handful of drones and missiles getting through to Russia causing negligible damage and disruption for a few days is more like an inconvenience. I believe China is still supplying Russia will "energy infrastructure aid" anyway, i.e. basically paying for repairs to refineries I'd imagine.

Another pidorland humiliation, another lying pidor (pleonasm) thread.
Pidor, you lost and you are on you way to be partition like a bitch.
