While the drones are indeed cheap as dirt compared to other military toys they have around it still wonders me about the scale and economics of the things. A guy with a sniper rifle costs roughly the same than a guy with a drone, difference being that a bullet from a rifle is far more cheaper than a dropped grenade, but you need a very skilled sniper to shoot into a trench potentially couple of km’s away from the launch spot, so I suppose it’s worth the “extra” effort in the end, but the scale of things just somehow seems wrong on my head as it’s a relatively expensive and slow thing to take one guy at the time down.

Whatever the case might be, every successful drop from a drone is one (or more) less barrel pointed at the ukrainians and drones can be bought with just money. Someone (specially skilled) with a rifle isn’t as easy nor fast to replace, so I suppose it makes sense to slowly grind attackers with presents from the sky.

In any case I salute ukrainians for their effort and once things calm down a bit I’ll visit your beautiful country and (for what it’s worth) I personally hope that you get peace and join EU and NATO soon.
