yet another soviet variant, made in the middle east, same weaknesses and all, come on try something else
like west got better ones .. dude they can't even down a Dorito drone LMAO
@@Sorenalike I would pay to see you try to take down an agile rc plane, and yes, we can, we have jammers and Israel is sending their man portable variants to Ukraine while the u.s. replaces their stick until Israel increases their production rates
@@Anarcho-harambeism Ukraine is not Israel buddy, its a big country what ever Israel sends is gonna spread way too thin to have any sort of effect in long run.. and any anti air missile or device is gonna cost millions if not billions more than those Doritos and missiles that Russia using.. basically its a win win situation for Russia .. you hit their drones and missiles you lose if you don't hit them you lose as well... that is the real problem right now .. the cost of weapons.
@@Sorenalike drones with warheads will and are primarily being used to attack cities, that severally downscales needed Operational areas, along with gepards and shilkas actually being useful for once. Though Germany need stop deal with the while,"where'd the ammo go" thing with the gepards, damn Germany gives me a headache
Night I have the ACFT tomorrow at 0400
