📝Once again on drone quality📝
without which impressive production figures are meaningless

What stands behind the phrase "quality drone," which often appears in publications? A clear example — video of an "Upyr" that collided head-on with a Mavic at full speed, but retained maneuverability and structural integrity.

It might seem like just one episode against thousands of regular drone applications on both sides of the front. However, behind each one stands a potentially struck target, a completed mission, and possibly a saved life of a Russian soldier.

🖍Sounds grandiose? Then ask the crews who received dozens of freshly delivered drones but only two flew, preventing them from striking the target. Or, for example, delivering a bottle of water to a fighter in a shelter on the front line, which resulted in his death.

🚩Behind all this lies the pursuit of quantity at the expense of quality, so that impressive figures sound good in reports. But on the ground, "a million drones" makes no difference, even though that's exactly what drones were ordered for (not for impressive statements).

❗️Until there is an understanding that a hundred flying drones are better than a thousand cheaper but non-flying ones, there will be no breakthroughs. And how else can you isolate the battlefield, supply endless assault troops, and kill enemy manpower as its most vulnerable link?

Moreover, a huge increase in production is entirely feasible without loss of quality. The aforementioned "Upyrs" are a clear example of this.

📝Heavy drones more needed than tanks📝
On resource reallocation in the SMO

When officials hear military needs, they argue about finite budgets. They say we need everything, but the budget is not unlimited.

❓But what about optimal resource reallocation?
On TAKTIKAR, we showed why mechanized assaults have stopped working. Why not buy fewer armored vehicles that survive one attack in favor of heavy FPV drones?

For one BMD-4M, you can buy over 1,100 unmanned systems. Refusing to purchase a battalion of these vehicles or tanks (not counting ammunition) could free up significant funds.

📌 Assault troops need "Upyr-18" drones capable of delivering mines, not BMDs with "cardboard" armor.
The priority is destroying AFU personnel with drone crews, which heavy FPV drones handle better than APCs, IFVs, and tanks.

❗️This doesn't mean armored vehicles should be "canceled." It's about rational resource reallocation to changing battlefield realities.

Without infantry support, it dies, and there's no one left to attack (or defend). And without people, tank numbers don't matter.
