Yesterday, a Russian Tu-22M3s bomber was destroyed by a UAV, and another was damaged.

This is a thing of beauty.

What air defense doing?

Sleeping

The dumb little thief used most of Russia's massive AA missile stockpile to commit war crimes (bombard civilians) after they ran low of their actual missiles (because they bombarded the civilians so much). They simply haven't got that many left. Also, Ukrainians got really good at finding and destroying the launchers. They have few missiles and fewer launchers still left. The few that are left are in use in the warzone, not 600km behind it.

I think they're busy not protecting the boats in the Black sea. It takes a lot of effort to not protect those boats, and they haven't got any spare personnel left over to not protect aircraft.

Meanwhile the soldiers on the ground will have to not protect themselves.

Hell if you're going to be conscripted by Russia then your best help is to get conscripted into air defence because it apparently doesn't involve doing anything.

They use them to launch Kh-22 missiles.

Some of their rockets are air to ground, and need planes to launch them.

Things like that are true with any new weapon. The C-Ram or the new laser weapon navy has should work well against.

Rheinmetall had video showing their done defense, it was made in 2021 https://youtu.be/pb5F4Eod8?t=3s

You aren’t taking out a swarm easily, it will reach whatever goal it intends. Whatever it may be.

I would think the future of defense against drones is directed energy weapons.
