@VincentTourret: Yes, and that has played an important role in keeping aging Soviet-era air defenses effective. I'm just saying that there are cheap countermeasures to UAVs as well, and I suspect we will see more cost-effective air defense missiles designed to bring down Orlan type UAVs.

Just making the point that what we see in Ukraine may not be representative of other wars, and future developments may affect the offense-defense balance regarding UAVs and their countermeasures.

@21aar_show: More than 40% of Shaheds that are shot down are shot down by mobile air defense groups.

RT @konrad_muzyka: The data I have seen also shows people buying imagery of places which coincidently get hit by Russian missiles within days. This process has been ongoing for months.

I can confirm that I've observed evidence of Russians having access to Western satellite imagery, including non-commercial images. It wasn't just one, but multiple providers of satellite imagery.

@LowRhoUfo: I can't predict how the tech will evolve, I just think many people are underestimating the cost-effective countermeasures that will develop. And we are seeing many in Ukraine right now.

@idontwa86202030 @LowRhoUfo: You can make FPVs more resistant to EW and other countermeasures but that will raise the costs and quantities in which they can be deployed.

@AndriyGP: Yes, you are right, but I'm not sure they are dropping many, or any, non-UMPK bombs at this point.

@Florian93721335: Yes, and the added range for FPVs is more useful given how fortified the front line is.

@KoalaSalesman: Yep, we exaggerate the role of FPVs because we see a greater percentage of their strikes than we do for artillery and other weapons.

@ChristoSilvia: It looks like there is some experimentation with that in Ukraine, but that will limit the range, ability to operate over water, and pose other limitations.

@exit266: It depends on many factors, and we hear very different estimates for the hit rate from different people.
