An armchair general comparing who's country could win in a global conflict... because drones...really sort of betrays your own idiocracy. but hey you do you I guess. my dad could still beat up your dad.
You sound like the WW1 dudes who sent cavalry charges up against machine gun embankments.
Instance checks out
Do you mean idiocy? 🤓
Maybe, or maybe they just really wanted to smuggle in a eugenic dogwhistle
"because drones" That's exactly why Russia is going to mulch Ukraine and win the war. Why the frontlines of that war are so brutal and stagnant for a period of time. Why Russia is making breakthroughs. They are exactly why Iran was able to deprive interceptor payloads from the United States which created a shortage that American manufacturing is unable to remedy for a long time.
Drones are also capable of being made in your garage with materials purchased from your local hardware store.
It's not "armchair general" to say that the technological abilities of one nation surpasses the other. That's just basic analysis. Something "your dad" never taught you, apparently. Mine did though!
By the way, it's "idiocy" you fucking idiot.
Wait, what Iranian drones have to do with statesian interceptors? I have only heard of Iranian hypersonic misiles being superior to statesian technology.
Honest question. I would like to know a bit more. I don't like religious political power, but Israel and US are far, far worse than Iran. I would much prefer it had a secular government, but I love Iranian comrades as they are.

The U.S had supplied Israel and armed their own bases with a significant amount of expensive interceptors that require a vast amount of rare earth minerals that are currently being choked by the trade-war between China and the United States.
When Iran and Israel had that spat; with Iran throwing missiles towards U.S bases; a significant amount of interceptors were spent and since then have been struggling to refill. Some projections don't predict until 2040s-50s at current production. We all know how well U.S does with war-time production these days.
All of that with a couple hundred dollar drones and some cheap decoys.
You may have misunderstood how these drones work when considering western drones seem to be more effective against unarmed women and children, journalists, medics etc. These non-western drones are instead designed with genocidaires in mind. Hope that clarified the confusion.
Yes fine sir, the Battleship will alway rule the waves! Oh, wait...
oh no, a redditor escaped
Good trolling, I respect the game
