You forgot that even almighty Russia had to rely on the same drone to fight Ukraine. Iran too copied the idea from idea from Israel.

You may think you know or have it all, until war starts. It's your ability to adjust that determines whether you can succeed or survive. Even Russia as advanced as they are had to rely on the same Iranian drone. Ukraine in return had to start developing their own affordable and effective missiles.

In addition, the United States has also developed its own version of the Shahed drone, known as The Low-cost Uncrewed (Unmanned) Combat Attack System (LUCAS). For those who may not understand the reason behind this move, it is largely due to cost considerations. Many of the weapons currently used by the United States are very expensive to produce and deploy. As a result, there is a growing need to develop cheaper but still effective drones and missiles.

For instance, it doesn't make sense to use a missile worth millions of dollars to intercept a drone that costs about $20,000. With its current air superiority over Iran, the more practical approach is to rely on these lower-cost weapons for such engagements.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Why Has Iran Targeted Azerbaijan With Its Drones? by edogu(op): 6:17pm On Mar 05
Azerbaijan preparing 'retaliatory measures' following drone strike
published at 16:23

In our last post, we brought you a report that Azerbaijan has closed part of its airspace, saying Iranian drones have crossed its borders.

A little earlier, President Ilham Aliyev said Azerbaijan's armed forces have been instructed to "prepare and implement appropriate retaliatory measures" after it accused Iran of carrying out two drones strikes.

"The targets of the attack were civilian facilities, including the Nakhchivan International Airport and its terminal building, a school, and other civilian sites, all treacherously struck by Iran," the statement adds.

Azerbaijan’s foreign ministry said one drone struck the terminal building of the airport while another fell near a school building in Shakarabad. Two civilians were injured, it added.

The general staff of the Iranian armed forces have denied any involvement in the incident and blamed Israel, BBC Persian reports.

Azerbaijan shuts airspace near Iran border for 12 hours
Azerbaijan has closed part of its southern airspace near the Iranian border for 12 hours after reporting that Iranian drones had crossed into its territory.

The move comes after Azerbaijan said drones from Iran crossed the border and struck areas in the country’s autonomous Nakhchivan exclave, damaging infrastructure and injuring civilians.

Iran has denied responsibility for the incident, saying it does not attack neighbouring countries.

Foreign Affairs › Why Has Iran Targeted Azerbaijan With Its Drones? by edogu(op): 3:32pm On Mar 05
Unlike the Gulf states and Iraq's Kurdistan Region, Azerbaijan is not known to host any US bases, raising the question of why it was attacked.

Iran has not given a reason for launching drones at an airport in the autonomous Nakhchivan region, but one answer might lie in the fact that Azerbaijan, on Iran’s north-west border, is a close strategic partner of Israel and the US.

Relations between Azerbaijan - a secular but Shia Muslim-majority country - and Israel have deepened since the 2000s: Azerbaijan is a major buyer of Israeli weapons, Israel imports significant amounts of Azeri oil, and the two countries are believed to co-operate closely on intelligence, particularly with regard to surveilling Iran.

Iran has long accused Azerbaijan of allowing Mossad, Israel’s intelligence agency, to operate on its territory, including helping Mossad agents kill Iranian nuclear scientists – a charge Azerbaijan has strongly denied.

PulaPower:
Sachets drinks are easy to carry along. You fit out 5 for pocket and nobody go know..
Is not enough reason to ban them? What about the economic cost? What about the job loss that may result in the ban of the satchet drinks? Instead of banning why sensitise them in partnership with other agencies such road safety, NOA etc

Alternatively, the government could consider increasing taxes on sachet alcoholic drinks. A price increase may discourage excessive consumption and reduce patronage.
Health › Re: Sachet Alcohol Is Responsible For Banditry,Road Accidents & Suicides – NAFDAC DG by edogu(m):
I initially thought the ban was based on health concerns. However, if the reason is road accidents, then it would mean that all alcoholic drinks should also be banned, since alcohol in general can contribute to such incidents.

If the justification is banditry, then a stronger argument would be required, especially considering that alcohol consumption is not supported in Islam. Does this imply that bandits, including groups like Boko Haram, consume alcoholic drinks? If the concern were drug abuse, that would be more understandable, as past arrests and interviews have shown links between certain drugs and criminal activities.

As for suicide, I do not believe that this alone is sufficient reason to ban satchet alcoholic drinks. If that was the case, then all alcoholic drinks would need to be banned, because an addict does not discriminate when seeking for an alcoholic drinks to take

That is my humble opinion.

Celebrities › Re: Asake Buys G-wagon G63 For His Mother As Ramadan Gift by edogu(m):
Some of those criticising him for buying a car for his mum instead of his dad might do the very same thing if they were given the opportunity.

Dear men, I have come to realise that some of us spend all our time hustling to provide for our families, yet we hardly spend time with them. That period of bonding, especially when the children are young and tender, is extremely important. No amount of money can replace presence.

Make out time to be with your children. Be present. Pay their school fees yourself when you can, attend their events, keep records, and let them see your involvement. These little things matter more than we often realise.

When a man dedicates all his time solely to hustling and leaves the emotional and visible responsibilities to someone else, the narrative can easily be controlled by that person. In unhealthy situations, a spouse may present herself as the only one carrying the burden, even when that is not the full picture. Over time, this can shape how children perceive their father.

Provision is important, but presence is powerful. Children need both. Till date, I have not forgotten my experience with my dad to British council, Enugu. Create fond memories with them and when they grow up, they won't forget it.

When you force boys and girls into men and women's affairs, this is the result. Tell me, what's 19 Yr old teen doing in a marriage. Marriage no be beans. You need to be emotionally, psychologically and financially ready. The first two are very important. Women can be dramatic and if you don't have the emotional intelligence to follow them na big wahala. Rest in peace to them.
