Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin

[ColonelCassad] “There is more PR and corruption in Bayraktar than combat use.”

The head of the Association of Defense Enterprises of Ukraine, Sergei Pashinsky, said that during the first week of the special operation, the Russian military shot down ( https://t.me/rt_russian/128263 ) “all Bayraktar” of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

He told the pranksters Lexus and Vovan about this, who called on behalf of the former US Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul.

“They are vulnerable against air defenses strongly. You must understand that we had a lot of Bayraktar, they beat them all in a week.

He cannot work on his own. Bayraktar is not a miracle weapon, with powerful air defense systems it crashes into flight, and it has no combat effectiveness,” said Pashinsky.

PS. Actually, confirmation of the obvious, which he wrote about during the Libyan campaign and Haftar's offensive on Tripoli. With competent modern air defense, the Bayraktars look very pale, achieving a maximum of some exchange of UAVs for air defense systems, and even in Libya they fought against old modifications of the Pantsir.

In Ukraine, they met with more serious systems and the result was a little predictable. Therefore, now there is a lot of noise about the "Geran" and almost nothing is heard about the success of the "Bayraktar", which remains quite a suitable vehicle, but only in conditions of weak or suppressed air defense. With unsuppressed air defense, he becomes food or is forced to work as a spotter, forgetting about the advertised shock function.
