If they get shot down sure, but jammed drones would either land or fall, in either way theres plently to go for a drone carcass surely.
They're not going to be in a pile, though. They're still going to be individual drones lying in ditches in no-man's land. Hardly a compelling photo-op.
We have reports that russia is running out of materials, surely if the drones are flying around they would be closer to their front lines, so easier opportunity to recover.
I mean just logically, russia is not doing so well in the information war, so I assumed they would use any opportunity to showcase their achievements, like they have done with the several bradleys/leos destroyed. They were milking that footage for a week at least.
So to me its weird that they have not tried to improve morale with such statistics. But I obviously have no clue on combat morale.
True but then it becomes a logistics and organisation problem for a fairly meaningless photo op and Russia aren’t doing well with either of those things.
