Why need AA defence when you can just hire a skilled Chinese hacker to furiously type on a keyboard and take over the drones, and 5 second later declare: "I'm in!" (in Chinese of course)

That's traditional Chinese characters, so that'd be a Taiwanese Hacker. A Chinese hacker would use simplified.

I like how Canada used their old leopard 1s for target practice when we know now they could have been outfitted as Gepards

What I'm waiting for is the return of propeller-powered air-superiority fighters with machine guns.

[–] Diplomjodler3 13 points 2 weeks ago

They have that already. Ukraine has been fighting Shaheds and the like with propeller planes.

Tbh all you need is an old AN-2 and a dude with a browning.50 braced on the doorsill as you fly by the shaheds

Source: there are videos of that from last summer

A-10 Warthog enthusiasts are salivating.

Look, first off, this is her war. Soviet tanks out of mothballs, massed up and ready for the BBRRRRRR. But second, with some modern ECM, and explosive rounds, she could trounce every drone.

I'm an A10 enthusiast but I feel like it's the wrong tool for the drone job.

Soviet tanks though 🤤

It also doesn't do well with modern SAM, so you'd have to have more modern jets run SEAD for them to get in and do their job, but all those modern jets are also easily capable of anti tank bombing.
