CNN’s Nic Robertson shows how Western technology used in drones is helping Russia to track and kill Ukrainian forces.
Opinion: The American-made weapons that could change everything
by David A. Andelman
It seems that increasingly these days, the United States is letting Ukraine fight, valiantly, but is it with one hand tied behind its back?
The US and its allies have given the Ukrainians artillery systems, some of them quite advanced, but withheld those with the longest range or, as arms experts have suggested, the greatest sophistication.
In an address to Congress on Wednesday, Ukrainian first lady Olena Zelenska asked US lawmakers to send air defense systems to her country “in order for rockets not to kill children in their strollers.”
Still, Ukrainian officials have expressed their public gratitude for weapons delivered so far. Ukranian President Voldymyr Zelensky, in his daily video message Monday, observed that his armed forces are now “able to inflict significant logistical losses on the occupiers.”
Military observers tell me that Zelensky and his senior generals have expressed their delight in the new systems that are appearing, hoping that their words will encourage a greater willingness of the West to release even more advanced systems that could turn the tide of battle by leaps and bounds.
There is an electronic war that cries out to be fought — drones that need to be jammed or flown to precise targets, long-range artillery with GPS targeting, enemy chatter that needs to be plucked from the skies. Some of these capabilities are increasing as the West gradually introduces new systems to the battlefield and trains Ukrainians to operate them.

Using capitalism to attack capitalism. Learn that; Stalin.
This have to be most bs news report ever. They are just doing wat USA does to other small countries. They just mad that Russia is doing it better.
🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱
This embargo task seems to be more symbolic.
DPRK made their own nukes, while locked down for decades?
All it takes is some paperwork fraud – even easier, parallel import from some other dodgy nations
It’s the money that needs to be stopped flowing
Idiots! This is a homemade drone. Russian technology is much more advanced. You will lose your little war.
That is typical capitalism. If it is profitable, it is legal and can be justified. Just like the Iraq war ……..😂😂😂
CNN, this should be the way for you present the news, otherways you are going to colapse…
<This is an excelent example of the glorious PEACEFUL Future World for Humanity that Rusia and China are testing, proposing and developing: AN INTEGRATED APPLIED MULTIPOLAR TECNOLOGIA FOR THE 21 milenium>… But first, Rusia have to destroy, for second time, the NAZI BESTIALTY that, introduced in Ukrane first, is contaminating the minds and souls of the people of Europe.
Nothing told on CNN can be believed. 100% propaganda.
Funny biased a-hole: "western tech to kill Ukrainians". Also used…"western tech to kill Russians", what a horrible approach. Do you not realize this leads to more war!?!? Propagandick Misinformanian lol
Russian stealing us tech to fight ukranian😂😂
Что?…. Что за подстава??? На столе лежит один дрон, а сбили абсолютно другой. Разные модели. Что лежит на столе это обычный дрон разведки и он не может нести тактическое снаряжение…и как после этого он смог уничтожить украинских солдат? Хотя нести глупость в массы это тяжёлый труд. Все технологии имеющиеся на рынках доступны всем.
I am dying of laughter.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣☝️
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣☝️
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣☝️
thanks to all these sanctions, they can produce those locally now and other BRICS countries started developing their own too.
And in the meantime Israel continues killing women and children in Palestine using American F16 and F35… DISGUSTING
Is this clip is meant to support the idea that Russia is unable to produce such things? The question then arises: Why all the US ivey league universities as well as French, German ,UK, Italian and even some Japanese universities , hire the faculty in the capacity of FULL PROFESSOR (that is with full tenure) from Russia? Just to keep them as animals in respective university zoos? Or for what else?
Everyone has to make $$$ somehow
So you think the rich don't eat russian caviar now? Think again… and start thinking, and let's end all wars.
where is the shovel?
It's business man! Money is what matters.
Interesting, when usa (attract) bright stunents from Russia it is ok. When they using that technology it is bad???
NOT EVEN THIS PROPAGANDA HAS MADE RUSSIA LOSE THE WAR
They need to verify leopard2 tanks desttroyed by russians. Next tanks will be challengers and abrahms
There was no damages to the captured drone, not even a scratch or dent
well freeOf made in China parts
Russia talk about how much they don't need the West but the fact, the West creates most of the value. Unlike rubbish Russia which can only dig up dirty oil to sell. While bringing no true value to the global economy.
Making money is the best policy.🤪
HAHAHA CNN IS FULL OF BS!!
your own technology is used against you and it's doing a better job than you expected
This is exactly why Europe's sustainability directive supply chain policies are so important (one of the many reasons).
Everything is for sale as long as there is a buyer. Dark web😂
Trying to find an excuse to your failure
Simple cheap efficient that's what is needed. The Russian expensive drone's are intended to fight NATO not their cheap servants. With a bottle of petrol tigers elephants jagdtigers were burned to death
El Occidente dispara a sus propios pies.
You can just order that thing online
Russia has balls, so the west doesn’t want them to have weapons
Hahaha gringoland is near its end
top secret information for sale just inquire within washington DC and they will gladly give you anything you want cause politicians know full well they can sell it and never be held accountable!
Killing Ukrainian Fascist troops is really vermin control.
If attached by nato, russia will use western tech to kill nato terrorists which is a develooment on the Soviet wealons plundered en masse by america after 1991. In no way it is exclusively western tech, rather a mixed up tech developed on the foundations of pre-1991 americand and soviet technology😂😂😂
West have started claiming that electronic is all western tech…. Electronics is electronics any electronic engineer can violate the patents or reengineer such components domestically using seperate architecture using other processors from China.
I remember was an wide spread information, that Russia getting electronic components from refrigerators and microwaves.
Fake All equipment made by Russia
The Metsamor Nuclear Power Plant in Armenia was chosen as the most dangerous reactor in the world due to its design in the 1960s. The nuclear reactor should have been close a long time ago. Because it spreads radiation to Europe and other continents. Radioactive and chemical wastes of the Nuclear Power Plant enter the Caspian Sea through rivers and then into the oceans through other rivers. The NPP is located in a seismic country and a strong earthquake can occur at any time. Armenia should be sanctioned and embargoed to close this reactor. This environmental terrorism must be stopped. The number of cancer patients in the world is increasing rapidly due to nuclear power plants. The government of Armenia, which is a military-economic ally of the invading Russia and receives financial and military support from it, should think about the health of the peoples of Europe.
Russian Armed Forces are the biggest threat to the security of Europe, NATO and the World. I invite and call on all citizens of Sweden, Netherlands, Britain, Portugal, Canada, Poland, Colombia, Greece, Austria, Brazil, France, The USA, Czechia, Argentina, Germany, Japan, Belgium, Finland, Italy, Romania and Spain to fight for democracy. If Ukraine is invaded, there will never be peace in Europe. In European countries, the situation will be the same as in Yemen, Algeria, Syria, Morocco, Uzbekistan, North Sudan, Niger, Iraq and Afghanistan. Citizens of these countries serve in the Russian Army. Ilham Aliyev and Nicolas Maduro supplies diesel and oil to the Russian army. Killer Vladimir Putin is looking for an excuse to use nuclear weapons. If the Russian army is defeated, an atomic bomb will be dropped on Paris, London, Kyiv, Berlin, New York, Rome, Brussels and Warsaw. If Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Kaliningrad, Crimea, Donbas are attacked, the Russian army will launch Topol-M with a nuclear warhead. Kim Jong Un, Alexander Lukashenko, Xi Jinping, Ebrahim Raisi sends weapons and ammunition to Russia. But the Belarus-Ukraine war will never happen. Vladimir Putin will not open a 2nd front. Because Alexander Lukashenko does not want to fall into the quagmire where his friend fell.
bad luck for Ukrainians in believing in euro-american propaganda and promises. Now the people is paying over corrupt Ukrainian politicians’s choices.
I pray to Allah that the ukrainians open their eyes and start realising they’re being manipulated from both sides, and in this regard is better to embrace and accept their kin than european/american fantasies. Ukrainians and Russians are part of the same slavic people
It aged bad 😂, now everyone is afraid of Russia's drones
OK so it's not only Russia "killing" ukranians, it's every country on the list…
Well, it’s not hard for Russia to manufacture these things themselves, and they can always buy stuff from Chinese suppliers
Lancet 3 is the star of this conflict.
