Sorry about that.
One of the belligerents is jamming GPS guided munitions, the other one is jamming social media.
Reuploaded - at least for now.

^ A good reason to let them have A-10s since those jets have a great record of blue-on-blue...

Even the smaller FAB-250 bombs (250kg/550lb) will receive the UMPK "universal planning and correction module".
I'd like to correct myself with a factoid I dropped about the glide bombs (in the Lounge thread). I quoted History Legends' video claiming that the price of 1 Kalibr missile was equal to 27 FAB-500 bombs, but actually he said it was 270.
So it sounds like they basically cost nothing, and the real cost is the risk of losing a pilot and/or fighter jet.

It's interesting how relatively dumb technology is playing such a big role. Two different ways to think about things.
NATO: limited, precision artillery strikes with titanium artillery pieces. $$$
Russia: Just throw a bunch of stuff in the general area, rockets, mortars launched from the back of a truck, whatever. $
NATO: A handful of precision cruise missiles. $$$
Russia: Enjoy a swarm of hobby tier kamikaze drones disabling your armored vehicles and infrastructure. $
But even then Russia still wins even in the quality department with things like hypersonic missiles and air defense. I wonder how long it will take for NATO/Ukraine to bring back flak AA, because it doesn't make sense to use an S-300, S-400, or patriot missile systems to take out a Geran.
From Canada of all places:
