U.S. Drones for Ukraine Will Include Latest Tank Killers​

  • Newest model versions can destroy Russian tanks, artillery
  • ‘Flying Shotgun’ is part of new $300 million Pentagon order



Our technologies is a big problem for the Muscovite imperialists . Time to stop being timid with these Barbarians. Give the Ukrainians what they need, Tanks and Fighters before The Hordemen succeed in cutting off the South and East.

I used to think that but I'm going to be honest I don't think Russia can wage an offensive war for years. I'm not sure they even have another 6 months at this rate.

if russia keeps land and installs puppets then the war will be covert and include terrorism and assassination's. all that could last a long time.

No it won't. The Russian gov't won't be able to keep up the mirage for that long with the citizenry.
Are you saying the fake news!!!! will not keep working. It's been working in the U.S. on the right for 6 years.

Well, it’s clear that the Russians are retreating to positions east of the Dneiper River, and are going to try and hold the same provinces that they have been interfering in for four years.

I guess Putin is still going to try and push the old ethnic victim play, that he started this war with.

It hasn’t occurred to him that that gambit failed right out of the box.

But the Red Army’s performance isn’t likely to improve. And they’re apparantly dealing with their heavy losses and lack of effective command and control by letting their conscripts run wild.

Now is the time to drive the Red Army completely out of Ukraine.

Only because our elected leaders have allowed it to. That's changing as we speak. No one is blind to the atrocities taking place in Ukraine.

It's not the US that matters much. It's the citizens of Russia. Putin can't keep the truth from them for much longer. Coffins are piling up full of Russian Kids.

Once the general sentiment starts changing in Russia, it will change here too. When Tuckers audience realizes they are all being brainwashed, it will change.

Makes a lot of sense. Russian tanks would be vulnerable to drone launched missiles, and in turn the drones are harder for the anti-air systems to intercept. This means either fewer tanks - or the tanks will have to be pulled back into a more protected position. Without tanks the Russian forces become poorly trained and motivated infantry.

Another Afghanistan - install puppet govt in the areas they control, lose blood and treasure for 10+ years fighting against insurgents.

All for Putin's ego.

I don't think so. The economic interconnectivity of our world has changed how warfare will be conducted. By isolating itself from the rest of the world, Russia has severed those connections. That's not sustainable in the long term, and the Russian population itself is going to push back.

Look at the impact the early covid isolation had on our economy and people, as well as the ripple effect it had. Russians have many restaurants and businesses just shut down - with jobs lost. People are fighting for food in grocery stores. They are cut off from most countries (China the exception) for goods and supplies. Their banking connections are severed. Their computer systems under attack. On top of that, their ground forces are suffering heavy casualties and being pushed back. I think we're talking months, not years.

You'd think Napoleon's (and the Nazis') folly in the Russian mud would have taught them a thing or two.

At least in Ukraine there are those who are more aligned with Russia, along with ethnic Russians, so there is more of a base to work from than Afghanistan where no one wanted them there. Still though, there will likely be insurgencies in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts.

I think that was Putin's mistake, in part. There are reports he expected his troops to be greeted with flowers in Ukraine, and was furious when they were met with scorn and resistance.

I can't wait to learn more about the actual intelligence Putin was getting, because it's really bad intel based on the outcome thus far.
