    That Ukraine even needs so many unmanned weapons points to a deep manpower shortage.

    Another possibility is that the Ukrainian government values it’s manpower more than Russian government.

      That would be a possibility if we didn’t know exactly how bad is Ukraine with manpower right now, and that it’s so bad in part due to their failed major offensives, done in exactly the Russian way.

      They are, right now, pulling “replaceable” personnel from things like AD to infantry.

      They are being overwhelmed. In that exact dirty wasteful way Westerners in the Interwebs are laughing about, because they are not going to be drafted to a frontline to show how it’s done right.

      Ukraine loses the war if no Western country commits its troops directly.
