as i believe noted before, ukraine's drone tech and co-mfg strategy with wealthy (gulf) and knowledgeable (EU) partners has a major implication.
the gap between # russian dudes, and the # and lethality per ukrainian drone is growing exponentially.
this cannot even be closed by importing human fodder from N.Korea.
plus, shockingly, attacking critical infrastructure has a bigger longterm payoff than killing civilians.
russia is attempting to improve its drone # (ooops, iran is out) and tech (china) also, but trailing badly there.
whatever is the status of borderlands, ukraine is not going to be conquered. so yes MAGA, tell us about all the dudes again.
