    Well ... if it is a regularly rotation, then there must be someone before to replace in this rotation issue, correct?
    Mmmh ... problem is that there is no one before ;-)

    Well, to be fair - our army develops an unmanned land vechicle, Uran 9. There's lot of arguing about it, so.. It pretty much can end up being a failed cancelled project. Or not. Time will tell.

    Generally to me it reminds of interwar tanks of XX century - it looks so small.. Fragile even. So personally I highly doubt it, but... That's my opinion, I am not a mechanic.


    Also seems Israel is more or less succesfully uses unammed vechicle Guardium on a border patrol duty.

    They won't, but they can be a good asset to live force. Albeit they have plenty of their own specific issues.

    First of all immediately agreed on not escalating that into a military conflict between the countries. And then - put sanctions on Turkey until in 27 of June turkish persident gave formal apology for the incident.
    http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-36689801
    And with that the diplomatic crisis was ended and sanctions are being lifted. And today's relations between countries appear to be pretty much fine.


    So, what we did was - used diplomacy and not a brute force to resolve this regretful situation without any further casualties in equipment or even worse.

    That is all very different from drones taking over all combat missions in the air or on the ground

    Something that this generation will never see

    If they can't make their own needs of maintaince and refuse to rely on professional service for it - what else they expected? It's a military jet, not an old car. One can't just learn to keep it in proper working order from a scratch.

    So you approve murder. Maybe you should plea to reintroduce a capital punishment in your country, to further down your bloodthirsty barbarism?

    Somewhere there is a happy medium between the 2 extremes of letting it sit around to collect mothballs, and wearing it out flying useless missions in foreign lands.

    IMO that happy medium would be keeping it at home defending this country from foreign attack. Advancing empire by way of military aggression is not good use.

    Not at that speed. I think it's a bit of a stretch!

    Lol, :), stop playing your coy "good cop" attitude, russian jets,vtroops, have a habit of wandering into someone's else's airspace, backyards, intentions are usually not good, so yeah shoot the damn thing down.

    Well, tanks were a revolution in warfare in the past, but never replaced the infantry. I assume same would be with drones..? Becoming asset to people, but not fully replacing them.

    Makes me wonder, though, if our military plans introducing aerial drones for border patrol. If that even can be useful with the landscape. Considering scale of borders of our country it actually may be a miracle for border guards, if it is capable of working out.

    Oh, you do not like my attitude? Well, sorry to disappoint you and mercilessly ruin your mirages of "evil agressive russians". Try finding some on 4chan, among /b/tаrds.

    Oh, I could care less about your attitude, by what I take from it, is you seem to have this idea that everyone here at least is Un-informed, Mis-informed, ignorant, or plain dumb,look in the mirror! I just find it amusing some of them try to play this "fair" and"just" attitude, when some or most of them just as bad as the other. LOL.

    We make new enemies every day, and have been doing so for years, in the name of the global war on terror.
