Telegram blogger “Russian_FPV” reveals more barriers to developing a Russian heavy drone “Baba Yaga” fleet like Ukraine's.

“Dear and respected commentators, who write and present us with charges for using Chinese components every day, this post is for you.
1/ Image
“Let's start with the fact that yes, we, like many other UAV manufacturers, use cameras, flight controllers and GPS systems produced by craftsmen from the Middle Kingdom. And we do it consciously.
2/
“The thing is that some components for agricultural drones are simply impossible to get in Russia, and those that can be obtained cost about the same as a Boeing wing or a not very long cast-iron bridge.

Maria Berlinska on the Ukrainian lack of “Middle Strike” capabilities compared to huge sums spent on “Deep Strike.”

“We don't think about war mathematically.
That's why huge budgets are invested in Deep Strike, the effectiveness of which is now literally a few percent.
1/
“Because we think cinematically, in pictures: we ‘know how it burns in Russia’. Even if we spent hundreds of millions, and burned 10-15.
This does not mean that Deep Strike is not needed.
2/
“It means that we need to calculate what is more profitable, and invest proportionally more resources where the result is higher.

For example, we pay much less attention to Middle Strike, leaving almost no attention to the operational depth of 40-150 kilometers.

The Russians claim to have used new tactics in their latest “Shahed” attack on Odesa.
Arriving UAVs circled the city at high altitude until all were present, and attacked together in order to saturate Ukrainian air defenses.
1/
They also claim that reconnaissance UAVs had arrived first over the city to expose the location of the air defenses and conduct additional reconnaissance, and that this information was used to modify the “Shahed” flight profiles.

Russian blogger “Veteran's Notes” laments that Ukrainian dominance in FPVs frustrates any assault.

“Without a systemic solution to the problem of countering fpv drones, any maneuvers, especially in the offensive, will either be doomed to failure, …
1/
“…or the result will be minimal and with disproportionate losses. The enemy has learned well to use its, to date, only advantage in the form of small UAVs. Today, we are lagging behind the enemy both in the production and use of drones of this type.
2/ Image
“In many areas, in the section of the front in the area of ​​responsibility of one of our divisions, the enemy uses an average of 150 drones per day. We use up to 50 drones in the same area.

“We know where they are flying from, but there is nothing to kill with.”
The reduction in Russian FPVs is profound.
Ukraine is now producing millions of drones and some operators fly 15 missions a day, while a Russian operator says they get 10-15 FPVs per battalion per week.
1/
Russia still has an advantage in fiber optic FPVs in certain parts of the front, but very large numbers of Ukrainian FO FPVs are due by the end of May.
Ukraine is already extending the range of FPVs with big FO FPVs with powerful warheads.
2/ Image
Ukraine is well ahead of Russia in modernizing FPV munitions, with large quantities of electronic fuzes and arming switches with arming delays for safety and reliability.

The Ukrainian fighter FPV system targeting reconnaissance UAVs is well ahead of Russia's.
Blogger Alexander Karchenko on Russian attempts to catch up:

“It should be noted that the Russian army is working on the implementation of ‘small air defense’.
1/
“The problem of anti-aircraft FPV-enemy was perceived at the very top. Crews appear in units, equipment is tested on the front lines. Ukrainian radars have become priority targets.
2/
“I would like to note that it is reconnaissance UAVs that support reconnaissance and strike contours.
Without "leleks" and "furies", the Ukrainian Armed Forces will significantly reduce their ability to defeat our troops.
