Can drones still be used in great power wars?

　　In this conflict between Russia-Ukraine conflict, the Russian army was unstoppable, quickly suppressed the Ukrainian navy and air force, and gained absolute control over the sea and air. In addition to the precise attack of long-range cruise missiles, the overall defense system of the Ukrainian army is now in jeopardy. Why does Russia and Ukraine fight so fiercely, but there is no "star weapon" -48 TB2 UAVs purchased by Ukraine from Türkiye.

　　When it comes to the TB2 drone, many military enthusiasts have heard of it. This medium-sized drone made a name for itself in the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia, and Azerbaijan used it to destroy a large number of Armenian tanks, artillery, bunkers, and other living forces

　　Almost single handedly changed the course of the entire conflict. After the war, various media outlets began to wildly praise the TB2 drone, and many even believed that future wars would be dominated by drones. The TB2 drone quickly attracted many international buyers, including Ukraine.

　　Ukraine has purchased 48 TB2 UAVs and their supporting facilities from Türkiye. After the arrival of these UAVs, Ukraine quickly applied them to actual combat, destroying an artillery position in the Donbas region in the east of the country. Later, Türkiye quickly vigorously publicized that Turkey's UAVs are really powerful, and there is no place to hide its opponent's artillery.

　　Why is there no trace of TB2 in this war?

　　Small and medium-sized drones like TB2 are only suitable for conflicts in small countries. When neither side has a decent air force or electronic warfare capabilities, they can exert their maximum power. However, in front of large countries, these drones are like toys for children for a simple reason

　　Using this type of drone without air superiority is not just about being shot down. The opponent can combine reconnaissance and electronic warfare to destroy the drone's operating end together, and there is no room for the drone to fight back throughout the entire process. In front of Russia, a large number of TB2 drones from Ukraine are unable to take off, and even the Ukrainian Air Force cannot survive for a day.
