This references a clip by Russian propagandist and loudmouth Vladimir Solovyov. RantWoman may or may not go find it.
This video nicely summarizes a number of current realities in the world of drone warfare.

Words from the Secretary of War CRIMES
#SEcDef
RantWoman is picking some thematic clumps of videos. with some commentary
The Department of DEFENSE wants $200 billion dollars for its war of choice. Meanwhile aircraft carriers are sitting ducks and the USS Gerald R Ford is already so overstressed by a long deployment that there are memes of it sinking even though the flames in question are a laundry fire. The F-35 heat signature has been identified so more planes can be hit. And million-dollar interceptors can be disable with $20,000 drones.
If it were up to RantWoman, RantWoman would want $10 for diplomacy and social programs for every $1 of defense spending. RantWoman is also not commenting about general threads about "if only we had this or that military capability..." when Iran is doing TONS of damage with $20,000 drones. There is also the whole question of what is the US doing in the first place and are bombs the best way to do it?
So give the Pentagon MORE money? How about hard nope. Spend $10 dollars on depomacy for every dollar fed to ....

The Secretary of War Crimes and fighting US disinformation
#Iran
Rhetorical note: Secretary of DEFENSE Pete Hegseth has proclaimed himself the Secretary of WAR without any involvement by Congress, the body that would be tasked with renaming a Cabinet level agency. RantWoman will either be using the hashtag #SecDef or, based on interpretation of multiple media statements, the Secretary of War CRIMES. RantWoman would desperately prefer that the label not be needed, but that is only one reality of a situation that is horrific on so many levels.

KC -135's: SIX crashed or damaged. Claim that the KC-135 that went down collided with a second KC-`25. Was this because of jamming or signal disruption?
Attack on Kharg Island frequently bombed during Iran/Iraq war.
Nance spouting "lived experience."
Militarized Island. Unclear impact on oil facilities.
Chatting about military hardware and Improved Hawk missiles and sales with money used to fund the Contras.
90 impact points NOT 90 targets.
Most of Kharg Island goes to China. If oil targets get hit, DHinese demand will drive gas prices even higher.
People don't hang around on bases. They go

US escort under GHW Bush but US flag increases insurance, makes a target. So pay small fee to small counties to use their flag.
Previous escort experience: madness
In short demonstration attack and shoot selves in foot if plan to occupy.
President #StableGenius called this "The greatest bombardment in the history of the Middle east."
Geography of oil fields and multiple countries' oil facilities.
LOTS of small boat trade and action.
"The Iranians are no longer fighting a military war. They are fighting an economic war." and lots of back and forth "If you hit this, we will hit that." Goal is to put pressure on US and US allies. Goal: get the US out.
Burden of pressure on the world to STOP TRUMP.
Economic warfare (increased gas prices) is working.
Iran to Gulf neighbors: these are US targets. You host them.
Using remote control wooden boats.
Marine Expeditionary units. Either in Cuba or near Japan. If planning had happened, MAYBE prepared.
Have to go from Philipines back to Japan to get desert camo. Will take almost 2 days to get to Iran, If actually get there, Iran has plenty of ways to defend. Or things get very hot very fast.
Nance: are they serious? Would they have prepared differently? OR is this all propaganda???
If actually get "boots on the ground" very dangerous.
Jacob: "During war, misreading your opponent can have disastrous consequences and I see no evidence that (the President) understands that."
