welshbairn Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Some of these anti drome missiles look like they cost far more than the drones they target. If I was Putin I'd be buying or making as many cheap useless drones as possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was Putin I'd be buying or making as many cheap useless drones as possible. There was analysis of this done on the use of drones back in March. All the impressive drone footage we saw came from drones that lasted no more than 2 or 3 flights. The Russians knocked down 90% of them within a fortnight. Cheap drones that fly high are beyond the range of cheap countermeasures and not practical for long range expensive missiles to hit but they're far less useful as they can't carry a decent payload. Note how high the drone footage is of the SU24 bombing run upthread. Cheap, expendable drones are certainly attractive but they're far less capable. The Iranian ones have a high failure rate before they even get to the target and are extremely loud, alerting everyone around of their presence. They're not far removed from WWII German V1s. The Ukranians are knocking a lot of them down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 (edited) The USA jacking up interest rate means that all countries and corporations with dollar denominated debt need more dollars to pay the interest. So in real terms the USA prints dollars out of thin air, third party nations exchange increasing amounts of real resources for magic bean dollars and then hand the dollars back to the US in the form of interest payments. This effectively means the US is exporting all their inflation which is obviously hurting us. The vast majority of countries (the ones that haven't sanctioned Russia) no longer want to be a part of this system hence all the recent chaos. The big losers of the 21st century will be the countries that remain part of the system because their political leadership is completely owned by the USA.
