A drone? Nope. A few hundred at the same time? Yup




Are you serious? Please tell me you're not serious. Please tell me what capabilities any drone has that would allow it to evade a modern anti-air umbrella. Yeah, drones are great over places where their biggest threat is some goat herder with a 40 yr old AK-47. But they're easy pickings in any well defended airspace. They're not very fast or maneuverable and they have a huge radar signature. The Russians would laugh at any attempt to stop an invasion by using waves of drones.

And all of these on the ground taking them out as well:





Modern MBT's and AVF's are designed with fire control systems that would turn that thing into a pile of molten scrap in seconds. And they wouldn't even have to slow down to do it.

Expendability.

The capability to be destroyed with 0 casualties. They'll run out of missiles. We won't.

Send in a wave of unarmed, unmanned, cheap, light drones. They get blown up, right behind them are the armed bombing drones.

While the air attack waves continue, we send in the ground drones to do damage as well.

You talk a a big game Darth, but it's obvious you don't know shite about war tactics.

0% chance they could stop every missile from every ground drone. We just need a few to get through from the ground and the air. Goodbye defenses.

Send in the big boy bombers.

They started to concentrate their power, we out bombs into the undefended Russian cities back home.

Game over.

I don't ever question your awesome war knowledge. But I do question this idea that Russia COULD take over a country.

The deterrent in my opinion is sure they could take over any country in 60 hours. But then what? Woo hoo we got Estonia. Then over the next 3 months The ENTIRE world comes down on Russia and it's game over.

Basically the risk-reward for them would stop that stupid shite. Wouldn't it?
