J. k Simmons: Omniman, Ketheric Thorm, Cave Johnson, and one day he’ll be rid of that menace Spider-Man! Maybe Santa will make that his Christmas present?

I think the trench run was pretty impressive technically, but once the technology is figured out, there’s really no putting the cat back into the bag.

You don’t normally, until you get old and realize you’ve lost a ton of mobility. It’s something you need to actively notice.

How so? The only reason they’re so deadly in Ukraine is because they don’t have the resources to adequately defend the huge front and they can’t invest sufficiently to produce a scalable defense.

By the time NK is able to field enough drones for anything close to saturation, SK would have stockpiled more than enough defensive options.

Only 150 or so Gepards have been sent to Ukraine. SK can build their own mobile AAA and can likely have thousands by the time NK has hundreds of drones.

That’s because Ukraine is stretched thin economically and militarily. Their economy is 10x smaller than Russia and has limited domestic production capabilities.

SK on the other hand, has significant existing defensive and has an economy over 50x NKs. Their 2% GDP military spending is bigger than NKs entire economy!

The only way the Shaheds can be a threat is if SK commanders fail to recognize them as a problem. I won’t discount naivety or incompetence but I’ll bet every military is paying close attention to what’s happening in Ukraine right now.

SK has a number of domestic drone manufacturers and has a growing defense sector, they are most certainly looking at ways to counter whatever NK has access to.

If the NK soldiers sent to Ukraine thought those drones were scary, think what would happen with an entire country of FPV pilots and the production capacity to match could do.

Just connect the gaming cafes up to FPV drones. Whenever a Shahed is heading their way, divert some of the players to gun them down and win a stuffed bear or something.

At least with guns, they’re more evenly matched. South Korea only has some mandatory military service.

But with drones? South Korea has entire generations of gamers training their whole lives for this.
