The Russians couldn't detect the drone flying overhead from the Tor-M2DT which is an air defense system?

@psychedelicfoundry4474 The Ukrainian drone was transmitting the video, what are you talking about?

@psychedelicfoundry4474 A NATO country uses a layered defense system. The US last line of air defense is their CENTURION Counter-Rocket, Artillery, Mortar (C-RAM) based on the Phalanx Weapon System to shoot down the smallest mortar rounds or drones. The computer system identifies anything near, identifies it and fires automatically. There is radio detection and jamming also. US Embassies are protected by the C-RAM and have been in use shooting down small drones.

@psychedelicfoundry4474 You really are behind the times on air defense systems.

@harrierman123 Than why have it in a war zone? The Ukrainian artillery have a known range it was very foolish to have an air defense system stationary and not on.

@johnwinter2252 They use Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology base on the radar energy return. Like at the airports where they can determine an image of weapons hidden under your clothes from your body mass from a quick scan. The density return from flying birds can be differentiated from non-organic material like plastic and metal.

@1Blazej1 The war started when Russia invaded Crimea without any provocation and took over Crimea. NATO's support was to provide military trainers to educate the Ukrainians in Western military tactics and NATO countries did not donate military equipment until after Russia's second invasion.

@goldfarbjozef3913 What's your point? Was it too warm for it to work?

@JS-br7bo Than what's the point of it? It has been reported that a US stealth fighter-bomber has the radar return of a "Bumble Bee".

@haikalhadzik7744 It's like a referee telling the boxers in the fight ring to protect yourself at all times in the ring, there is never a time out in war.

@WeissWhite The US uses either a C-RAM 20mm gun or radio jamming.

@johnwinter2252 US made CENTURION Counter-Rocket, Artillery, Mortar (C-RAM) based on the Phalanx Weapon System is able to shoot down the small mortar rounds or drones.

@nogibertv4824 How much is a civilian life worth?

@1Blazej1 The Ukrainians only had Soviet era aircraft, rockets, and missiles at the start of the Russian invasion. They have been fighting only recently with weapons donated by NATO and other non-NATO countries after the start of the Russian invasion. The Ukrainian donated artillery have a known range, it was very foolish to have an air defense system stationary and within range of Western donated artillery.

@1Blazej1 The weapons given to Ukrainian wasn't by NATO and wasn’t from its stockpiled forward deployed weapons but from each donating country and shipped from that country.
