The Ukraine Airwar Monitor estimates that “a sharp rise in [Russian] drone attacks is expected in the coming weeks. By further expanding its production capacities, Russia could carry out 10,000 drone attacks per month this fall and winter (peak in July: 6,300).”

There is some amazing research work that has gone into this. Quite unique really, given the nature of the event.

Chapeau.

If you can't win the airwar, perhaps some extremely bad AI generated propaganda posters might do it? Past 24h from not so serious country Iran 🇮🇷

#OTD in 1938 was the first flight of the P-40 fighter. It was one of the mainstays of the Empire air forces in the Middle East, serving from 1941-1943 in North Africa. Even though never quite up to the job against the Bf109, it was good enough to present a challenge and that was enough.
