Good

Some advice

1) Ukraine won counter offensive and liberated Kharkiv kherson using Himars and atamc precision weapons and NATo Sig intelligence location Russian positions

Lesson we must develop himars atamcs

2) Then Russia used EW to disrupt GPS signals and made himars atams inaccurate

Lesson we must develop powerful EW

3) Russia and Ukraine both using FPV drones and ki lling troops in trenches

4) Ukraine used drone boats and drowned big Russian ships. Ingenious method.

5) Russia won avdivka because Russia had more Artillery production. Lesson for Atmanirbharta

6) and most importantly Russia using FAB glide bombs

Russia is winning only because of these glide bombs right now

Cheap mass produced glide boms with 500kg and 1500kg explosive power is wrecking havock on Ukrainian lines..

Lesson we must develop 100km 150km glide boms.

Isreal also uses jdams glide bomba heavly

Lesson develop our glide bombs

This drone is just good for surveillance and there's already thousands of drones that can do this to monitor the border. What we need is armed drones that can launch bombs and missiles. This is what the private sector should focus on as we are only developing the Archer NG and it's not clear if it will pass the requirements.
