    But the cheap tools arent really effective are they? The 2 day offensive iss at how many years now? Russian refineries are being struck deep inside their country and russia has lost valuable weapons when olayna was attacked. Russia is in full war economy mode. While fighting against ukraine, so i dont see how the cheap tools are effective. If a little of russias claimed military power was true they would have just invaded ukraine in a few days like they said. Whats happening doesnt make any economic sense for russsia. The amount of monetary damade is so big that not using the big guns to save money is just dumb.

    The ssoviet union was always overselling its military capabilety from what russia has accomplished to this point it really seems like they are still doing that.

      They may be marginally less effective, but it isn’t a linear scale, and often times millitary contracts end up being overly complex and thus less efficient than cheap drones. That’s why Yemen is so effective.
