Although TB2 is not an advanced UCAV system, breaking and obsession can be seen easily in adversary psychology. TB is a kind of tactical system developed for countering asymmetric warfare conditions and counter-terrorism first. However, more serious countermeasures are now being discussed and developed. We used to see just US weapon illustrations on Russian defense industry presentations, until recently. There are good reasons for this though. In Karabakh, Baykar-IAI combined, and for Libya-Syria TAI and Baykar systems combined were created dozens of military cemeteries with hundreds of military vehicles all consisting of Russian defense industry products. Moreover, each new encounter area is more destructive than the previous one.

This situation caused dozens of articles to be published in the international press on the subject. Moreover, some countries' force commands started to analyze this new phenomenon more closely and review their future structuring strategies. Russia is at the top of these countries, naturally.

Slow, and low flyers can't be countered by purely land based AA.

The entirety of AA tech since fifties was evolving in direction of hitting more, and more faster, and higher flying targets. Now, the industry can't do a U-turn.

Now add to this that those baraktar like drones cost just few hundred thousand buck to field. Cheaper than munitions used to shoot them. And hundred times less than strategic AA missiles like Patriot, SM6, or S300/S300VM, Kela David.

Just forcing the enemy to discharge their stocks of expensive missile by a swarm of near disposable drones would be a win by itself.

Russians are so hard pressed to show something now is that if they don't their entire value proposition as a one stop shop for AA, and entire existing investment into their systems by their clients is going poof!!
