I'm actually shocked by the level of sophistication and improvisation demonstrated by the Ukrainian military today. They used $800 drones (I've seen where many of these are assembled and its really a bare bones process) to destroy billions of dollars in advanced aircraft. This should be a massive wake up call to incumbent military with lots of expensive and exquisite hardware. The era of Temu Warfare has arrived.

Necessity truly is the mother of invention

Couple that with some solid intel that I presume came from Western satellites (look at the resolution of those aerial photos of the Russian targets)
