This is CBSI on the world. I'm John Batts with Bill Raju, my colleague and co-hosts, and we're

very pleased to welcome General Blainehold, United States Air Force retired, who's going to help us

with an article in the Financial Times that points to success for the Russian forces in Ukraine.

Drones. Drones are getting through

at a much higher percentage than they did earlier in the war. The presumption was that drones

considerably because, according to the F.T., the Russians have adapted. In other words, the enemy gets a vote.

General, a very good morning to you. Blaine, this is Air War, Air War of Skynet.

Arnold Schwarzenegger would be starring in this movie if he wanted to

than it was at the beginning of the war? Good evening to you. Good evening. So we, we watched this

at the outset of the war.

Russia immediately threw the means of military production into the hands of Medvedev and had him control it.

This is a logistics war.

They took the drone that was the Shah had 136 out of Iran.

Iran was producing them until they couldn't, courtesy of Israel. But they created a new

factory called the Juran plant where they're manufacturing a thousand drones a day. Well, we don't do

that in the West. And eventually what's going to happen when you have that type of production,

you can inundate, swarm, and consume Western air defense.

There are other possibilities that Ukraine could do right now, but we have a worldwide shortage

of interceptors.
