IMHO, this is not about "cost of drones."

This is about the target intel that both sides get from their ISR drones.

ISR drones fly at an altitude where visual acquisition is difficult to impossible.

UKF has demonstrated the ability to locate ruzzian ISR drones and vector an FPV drone to intercept and destroy the ruzzian drone.

The "numbers" most likely provided by South Korean intel.

Ukraine Fact Sheet, February 21, 2025

ISW Press
February 21, 2025



Zelensky does not imminently risk losing all of Ukraine
  • Russian forces currently occupy around 20 percent of Ukraine, leaving the remaining 80 percent of the country under Ukraine's sovereign control.
  • At the current rate of advance, it would take Russian forces over 83 years to capture the remaining 80 percent of Ukraine, assuming that they can sustain massive personnel losses indefinitely.
  • Russia's rate of advance on the frontline has slowed significantly over the past three months.
  • Russian forces are making small territorial gains at the cost of massive personnel losses.
  • Russian forces advanced at an average rate of 27.94 square kilometers per day in November 2024, 18.1 square kilometers per day in December 2024, and 16.1 square kilometers per day in January 2025.
Most Ukrainian cities have not been destroyed
  • Many of Ukraine's largest cities, including Kyiv, Lviv, Dnipro, and Odesa, have avoided destruction and continue to function. Russia has leveled some Ukrainian cities as it has attacked and occupied them, such as Mariupol. Cities throughout the 80 percent of Ukraine that Russian forces have not occupied have remained largely intact during Russia's invasion, apart from deliberate Russian strikes against critical and civilian infrastructure.
Ukrainian law prohibits holding elections in wartime (unlike the US Constitution, which requires it)
  • Ukraine's Constitution prevents the Ukrainian government from holding elections or amending the constitution in times of martial law.
  • Russia triggered Ukraine's martial law provisions when it launched its illegal invasion of Ukraine.
  • The Ukrainian government cannot constitutionally suspend martial law while Russia continues to attack Ukraine.
  • Ukrainian opposition politicians, including those who have historically run against Zelensky, have stated that holding elections under martial law would be both illegal and immoral.

Ukraine’s ‘super soldiers’ bust stereotypes of what ‘lethal’ looks like

The Ukrainian battlefield has also forced a rethinking of the role of tanks, experts say
Meghann Myers | February 20, 2025
Ukraine Drones Russia
   
Ukraine’s military has grown fourfold since Russia’s full-scale invasion began three years ago, holding off a much bigger force with soldiers who have gone from civilian to battle-ready in just weeks.

Their success on the battlefield, where cheap drones are taking out tank formations, has forced a rethink of what a lethal ground-combat force actually looks like.

“There's often super soldiers, and super soldiers are a function of training and discipline and how you adapt people to different combinations of combined arms,” Ben Jensen, a senior fellow at the Center for International and Strategic Studies, said during an event Thursday. “And I think that innovation right there—that rapidly being able to turn civilians off the street into some of the most lethal fighting formations we've ever seen.”

“It also shows us that some of the discourse around lethality that we're hearing in the news now might be slightly flawed,” Jensen said. “I'm not fully convinced that modern lethality is ‘the most physically fit stud muffin killing the other most physically fit stud muffin’.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

If Trump is going to call Zelenskyy a terrorist and dictator he better damn well present of evidence of that.

Meanwhile what Putin has been doing is an ongoing war crime - Trump, mums the word...

Currently, the Taurus missile is not certified for the F-16AM or the Mirage 2000-5.

Most likely, the jets currently certified for Stormshadow/Scalp will also be used for Taurus missiles.
