@jmcquate beat me to it, but that’s a HARM.
Thanks!
Everybody is having problems with manpower- look how our services are missing recruiting goals.
I am more interested in who can sustain their ammunition stockpiles. As industrial war was thought to be a relic of the past, who has the capability of manufacturing artillery shells, etc in bulk? On a related subject, are countermeasures affordable? Wonder if the cheapness of kamikaze drones and the expense of anti-air missiles will result in a return of anti-aircraft guns?
Shooting Down A $14,000 Geran-2 UAV With A Million Dollar Missile Cannot Win That War For Ukraine - Experts
Ukraine is spending significantly more money on countering the threat from Shahed-136 'kamikaze' drones fired at its cities than Russia spends on acquiring and launching these Iranian-made drones.

Not to challenge the great minds at Eurasian Times, but I have seen sources that show most drones are shot down with HMGs, not missiles.Everybody is having problems with manpower- look how our services are missing recruiting goals.

You don’t need an SM-6 to down a slow, cooperative, large RCS target at close range.
I wouldn’t be surprised.
If anything, SPAAGs will make a comeback after they went out of fashion in the 80s/90s. We had M113 mounted Vulcans in the 80s that were phased out for the Avengers. I imagine the 20lb brains that figured out how to put a HARM on a Mig29 are problem solving that too.
Anyone actually have “Sea Sparrow SA-11/17s” on your 2023 bingo card?
I had no idea Sea Sparrow SA-6s were even a thing someone was trying to sell.

He bowls overhand.
I wonder if this man is still beaming with pride for his troops. Also, Russian karate is the best karate. They clearly are the superior CQC force.

I actually had one of our command vehicles designated " EM 50 " Very few people get it, but when they do there are laughs all around. Stuff like that reminds me I am old.
