Well the noise will also affect morale. It's like the Stuka in WW2 which had a whistle/wine as it dive bombed to weaken morale. Also the V1 in WW2 used to terrify people once they heard the engine cut out.

The video I mentioned earlier the two guys were in an abandoned building with the roof missing so remote and nowhere near other activity, they would have heard the drone if it was obvious, they did not and continued to blow each other before the munition gets ejected and its shrapnel takes them both out and you can see one guy with his pants down lol.
"you can't educate them with talking". What?!?

It is broken English for "teach by doing". He is trying to teach them hard work by having a go at it themselves.
Aha, I did wonder if something was lost in translation.

Again that's another [but this war bad] argument. We all know this war bad...
Well, none of those are my country, I'm just pointing out the reality of the situation to you, that some countries chose to do something in the past doesn't imply that other countries are obliged to make that choice.
I read a report a while back saying that 33% of drones are destroyed and that they should be recognised as being expendables.
Some more on this. NATO has informed members that Russia is testing a nuclear deployment to Ukraine. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/...ilitary-train-to-ukraine-front-line-tswzv2v50
Video covering the Russian tank reserves situation:
Overall some good details but I think the author of the video underestimates how many tanks were put back into service between his original number (the long standing appraisal of Russia's active tank numbers) and the start of the invasion - Russia used a certain amount of deception to build up hardware forward staged over the 1-2 years prior to the invasion bringing T-80s back into service to cycle out T-72s from active service elsewhere to use in Ukraine, etc. etc. so the assessment of Russia having lost about half of their previously active tank force is not fully accurate.
Likewise I think they underestimate how much Russia has pulled from the old, not-good, stock first - getting maybe 1 serviceable tank out of several older ones - as can be seen in the satellite images a large amount of not-good tanks, many of them little more than rusting away hulks, have vanished.
Overall though does give a fairly good picture of how long Russia can keep up losses - and that they still have a significant number of tanks which can be serviced back into active duty - even taking into account that some of those tanks will have to be cannibalised to get others fully equipped, etc.

He made that point about 2 mins in IIRC
By all reports they are being chucked into the war with little more than 2-3 weeks training if that.

The number of videos of isolated tanks getting blown to bits suggests they really have no idea how to use them.
