#3 #2 exhibits elites delusions. Less than 20 day oil reserves, troops totals as I recall at a 20 year low at the least. Cannibalizing spare parts. How many years missiles have sat in silos?. Upgrades? if at all. For about 20 years Putin has pushed for upgrades and technological advancements. Dream on but going toe to toe with Russia and China is a fools mission. What better way to destroy the western world. Perhaps this was the idea of elites anyway.

#4 Any pilot capable of holding the control in his hands should know that a drone can't manuever away from you. It's basically like encountering a really big bird in the air; You'll have to get around it.
It doesn't know where you are.
Happened repeatedly in Afghanistan. Our drones lost signal, and the default is 'go higher to regain signal', right into air lanes.
