> The Russian air defenses seem to be not able to do much when Ukrainians use Bayraktar drones

There’s a lot we don’t know about what happened. For example, the USA could (or could not, of course) have a much bigger hand in such attacks than they let out.

I doubt the USA would actually fire weapons, but they do provide intelligence to the Ukraine, and it wouldn’t surprise me if we eventually learnt that they shared knowledge on how to get past the Russian air defense systems, or even hacked Russian air defense systems to make these ships more vulnerable to these attacks.

I guess it will be decades before we know, if that ever happens.
