Ukrainian military analyst Oleksandr Kovalenko commented that he believes the Volnorez system’s capability to be overstated, describing it as practically useless. He argues that it has been deployed on the battlefield for a year without significantly impacting on the success of the Armed Forces of Ukraine’s (AFU) kamikaze drone attacks.
I know nothing about this guy’s credentials, but this was my first thought. I have seen so many tanks getting destroyed by drones. Are these systems not getting deployed or do they not work?
Probably a bit of both. I’m sure Russia has been overstating how many operational systems they have. “Appear strong when you are weak”, and all that. But claims and appearances only go so far.
