    How do you even combat drones dropping munitions on a battlefield like UKr? How do you get air superiority over something so small and cheap?

    The guy on the top did a circle around a tree. It looked like he was thinking about going back to the tank when the second hit.

    Edit: there was actually 3 guys. One was already in the bottom left walking away when first hit.

    GPS jammers, directed energy weapons, if someone is piloting it (vs just giving it a pre-set GPS course or speed/time course) potentially anti-radiation munitions since there's a send-receive signal, or comms jammers. I think Japan has anti-drone drones now.

    I'd guess you could use small cheap drones to just attack a drone in the air. I know we're worried about satellites in space attacking others, so I'm sure it can be done with drones on earth.

    Sounds like they either evacuated and were allowed to leave as part of a prisoner exchange or the Ukr fighters may be moved into Russia to be held after their surrender, not sure and it almost seems to differ based on translations

    it’s probably not just that, Turkey wants all western sanctions to end. They just might get it here and sort of pivot back to the west now that Russia is weakened

    This is at least the second time, maybe third, that he’s had appearances and made statements that counter their normal narrative quite directly. My guess is he’s a mouthpiece to start setting up the populace to accept Russian defeat or at least, not the total success they’ve been selling.
