abufrejoval I know you are desperate for content in an industry that has nothing to offer to consumers. But since you disallow politics in your comments, you should also abstain from publishing material, which is going to incite non-technical responses. In a war zone, "false positives", premature failures and collateral damage count very little and on top, Russia is much more concerned with up-the-command-line perception than quality control. Let them waste millions, and better they waste it on failing drones than on killing humans. BTW precision isn't a Russian virtue, it was typically left to immigrants like Fabergé. Reply
Hans_Frei The Russian versions of the Iranian-designed Shaheed drones are known as "Geranium" or "Geran". Current production is either Geran 3 or 4. The Russians manufacture these cheaply and in large numbers. This is the first time I have heard anyone make the observation that they are "flying garbage". I don't understand why an expendable munition such as a Geran/Shaheed needs to be of high quality and robust when it doesn't return to base. Seems that there is coping going on by Ukraine. Lenin once said "Quantity has a quality of its own…" Therefore Russia mass-produces a lethal flying dumpster… On fire. 🤤🍻👍🔥✈️ Reply

It's your fault for potentially responding with any sort of a political tint. It's not Future US's part, they are perfect. Why don't you understand Future US's brilliance? These political news stories are in fact a combination of both forms of trolling – it's trolling like you're fishing off a boat and its also trolling like a troll under the bridge. It's the worst form of toxicity by mixing those two. Dangle the politics, but "don't talk politics guys!" Part of the problem though is more fundamental, which is generally the lack of curiosity that saturates journalism today. Russia is in the echo chamber, so that's the news that shows up here regurgitated right from out of the echo chamber. There's a lot of cool, exciting, and also alarming things happening outside of the echo chamber that would make for really good news but it just never shows up here. Honestly no, I don't think they're hiding it or omitting it deceitfully. They are just uninformed because of chronic journalistic uncuriousness so when they hang out with their cliques of other journalists, its "report what the other guys are reporting" because that's the cool new thing today. We are hip. We are "with it". We are Future US and we are brilliant. Reply

PEnns Boeing 737-Max had tons of issues when flying and lots of dead passengers Should we be calling them "flying garbage" or is that limited to foreign countries the US and Ukraine don't like?? Actually, " If it's Boeing, I ain't going ' is a thing these days….. not in Kiyv but here in the US!! I personally wouldn't fly anything Boeing till they get their act together. Reply
3ogdy Its time to find out if we can gather them and rebuild them to send them where they came from. Reply

HyperMatrix This sounds like propaganda. And unrelated to tech. Why is this here? I don’t care about Ukraine. Reply
passivecool I'll give it a Shot: UE has clearly been successful in the last months, focusing its 'mid- and long-range objectives' on supply chain attacks: production, technological and chemical infrastructure. In addition, serious effects were leveraged upon the capacity for financial renumeration, negating the unexpected positive shift in geopolitical economic conditions. The decimation of the production capacities – combined with the over-regional distraction of the last 7 weeks, seems to have led to a market-typical result; when management weights quantity over quality under stress, the production result is inferior products. We will have to observe the RMA quota in the following months. Sources suggest that a large amount of users are only in the market for a very short term. In addition, the typical FMCG (fast moving consumer goods) market effects come into play. In addition, we are dealing with a market group stuck in a solid monopoly. My mid-range forecast would be further decimation of both product quality and output, which will likely be compensated by the increased market penetration for higher-range products (ballistic), until the organization collapses or management is replaced. Was that both clear and vague enough? that's the best i can do, sorry :sweatsmile: Reply
