That dimwitted proxy war was lost long time ago. This new thingymebob is just going to the graveyard of other Nato based 'Wonder-weapons' and 'game-changers'. MPADS stingers, Bayractar(?), one 'super' tank after another, ridiculously expensive patriot missiles and so on. Only fpv drones and HiMars have had any real effect on the conflict, but not even that much.

Ukraine will need 50 new weapon types like this, with infinite supply/ammo, to just make a small dent in Russia/Donbass combat ability.

You sure about the Bayraktars? From what I heard, they've been quite a nuisance

Not to my knowledge? I follow Dima/military summary, Brian berletic/new atlas, weeb and a few others on a daily basis, but have slowed down a bit the last year or so. They usually keep good track of what happens on Telegram, so I feel they are pretty good sources.

Afair, the Bayraktars primarily existed in the conflict for 6-12 months and then was only rarely heard of again. I remember a few vids from the beginning of the conflict, but most of the drones were shot down within a period of 6 months after that, and I suspect that only a few fly recon over the western part of Ukraine.

But oc I may have missed a later comeback/version2, or a few Ukr military vids lately.

So I guess it's best to stay out of Belgorod for the foreseeable future
