  1.  @marcuswardle3180  Most Ukrainians fighting today, were not serving in the military in 2014. Most have less than 1yr of total experience, assuming all of it was spent in combat and little to none in training. US soldiers by contrast typically have years of training before seeing combat, and even the few who do not get years fo training their first time, are in a unit full of people with decades of combined experience and training. The depth of experience through the ranks spans multiple wars, multiple decades. Ukraine lacks both combat experience in its forces, lacks the skills and experience within its forces (namely with leadership, command and control, coordination, combined arms tactics, etc.). it takes decades for a military to get to that level of competency, assuming it has time to train people properly. But when you just throw barely trained troops into a fight with advanced equipment that takes years to master, and requires lots of practice with teamwork to utilize that equipment to its full potential, they will never perform properly. We do not see Ukraine using the equipment the way it was meant/designed to be used. And thus it doesn't work the way it could/would were it in the hands of US troops. Believe it or not, the US has been using kamikaze drones in combat since WW2. We used them in WW2 against Japan, in Vietnam, and we also used drones in Desert Storm, Iraq, Afghanistan, and more places for decades. The US invented and was first to use many of the capabilities you see being used in Ukraine today, decades ago. The Byraktar drone capability for example, is something the US has had and used since the late 1980s. Yet the US fought for over 2 decades against unconventional forces and suffered far fewer losses. Yes, we lost many Abrams tanks, but not nearly the levels of losses Ukraine/Russia are taking. Becasue we employed them properly, and dealt with the unconventional threats properly. We had proper functional jamming equipment and other defenses that make the use of small drones less effective. And the US also fights in a manner that makes deploying small drones nearly impossible to be effective. And we also have methods for tracking where a drone took off from. Capabilities Ukraine lacks. The biggest difference is the US has overwhelming air power, making every target within reach, and anytime an enemy pops his head up to attack, we destroy him. You can track a drone back to its operator, if you have the ability to detect, triangulate, and strike his position.
