This war is only going to make Russia stronger. She is spending more money on it military. Existing military equipments are being upgraded. New military equipments are being built.

Russia has launch more than 20 satellites since the war started. The target is 100+.

Russia was not in a haste to incorporate drone tech into it military. But today the story is not the same. She has one of the best suicide drone (Lancet 2 & others). Russian attack drone, Orion has been upgraded to suit modern warfare. New drones are being built.

Russia has been forced to produce more upgraded T-90m tank. The goal is 1500 T-90m tanks per year. Likewise T-14 armata is now in serial production.

Russia now realise they need Mig-35. Mig-35 is equipped with AESA radar. Order has been placed. Likewise SU-57 serie production will be priority for Russia after the war.

Russia is now speeding up the serial production of it commercial airline. Sukhoi SuperJet 100 & MC-21. The planes will be equipped with Russian made PD-14 engine. She no longer has access to US made Pratt & Whitney jet engine.

Russia is heavily investing in the production of it own gas turbine. Plane engine has similar technology with turbine.

Russia military has become the most experienced fighting force in world.

Russia will end up having a military that no one will want to fight against.

You said it all.
It was a miscalculation by the u.s to try to drain Russia of it military strength.

Russia's military is becoming bigger and bigger by the day.
This war is giving Russia the insight on why certain weapons need to be modified, and some need to be Incorporated as soon as possible.

I find it funny how Americans sing praises on patriot air defence system, each time it shots down a shaheed drone. Each patriot interceptor cost 4 million dollars and a shaheed drone cost less than 20,000 dollars. May 28 the Ukrainians claimed air defence shot down more than 40 drones, it was all over d news every where, american media doing what they know how to do best, praise there's, LOLs, 4 million dollars times 40, mtschw clowns. And yet they are struggling not to default on loans and everyday they keep debating on how to raise debt ceiling. It took them almost a week to accept a hypersonic missile destroyed a patriot system, wars wrong with this people
Logically, the Shahed drones are more of a decoy than an actual strike weapon.

They fly very slow compared to any missile and mortars.
The war has shown that it is more expensive to shoot them down, and if you don't,
they can cause an unrepairable damage.

Each time Russia wants to strike a well fortified position, they send them in swarms to keep their ADs busy, before sending the cruise or hypersonic missiles to get the job done.

Shooting them down gives Ukraine a form of pyrrhic victory, but in the military perspective those drones where meant to be shot down.

It's a pure military tactics.

Also, shooting down the shahed and lancet drones immediately exposes the positions of Ukraine's Air Defense Systems/Equipment - coordinates of the AD gets sent to appropriate Russian aerospace forces and missile units for targeting and destruction.

โšก๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Russia is deliberately launching waves of cheap Shahed-136 drones into Kiev to drain Ukrainian air defense missiles.

There are countless softer targets all around ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Ukraine where they would be more likely to achieve hits but that doesn't seem to be the main goal.

Air defense missiles aren't just expensive it's also the fact that they can't be easily replaced.

It's smart to trade a $20,000 drone for air defense missile that isn't even guaranteed to take the drone down.

Elsewhere it could instead target Russian fighter jets.

โšกAccording to ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ท Turkish media sources, another ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ US Patriot battery was destroyed as a result of rocket attacks on Kiev.

Three Patriot batteries were sent to ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Ukraine, two of which were destroyed within few weeks.

Russia detects a Patriot battery and launches standard cruise missiles with electronic and satellite intelligence. Then a hypersonic missile is launched towards the battery.

When the battery commander sees that the missile is more advanced than they can destroy, he starts firing all at least 32 missiles in the battery indiscriminately, and the battery is destroyed immediately afterwards.

Thus, today there was probably a loss of at least another $2 billion, the previous losses amounted to $5 billion.

This place is one of the funniest part of nairaland.
One guy man just woke up and started ranting about Ukrainian Nazis using Patriot for uavs without first looking into it.
Bro they use the GEPARD for uavs and helicopters.
It's has a twin autocannon and it's anti aircraft even has its own radar.
That's why the impact of the saheed are not as strong as the early days when they ran riot.
All it takes is 4 to 10 shots and the uav is down.
Trying to post the pictures but nairaland is not working.
