They are outdated 'cause they are old units. The Israelis use PAC-2 GEM+ missiles and the replacement is more advanced than any Patriot missile system.
Ukraine wants 50+ batteries, or "at least" 25.
It's more appropriate to say they are tactically moving as fast as possible using the slowest possible strategy.
Artillery is used to shape the battlefield so offensive maneuvers can be undertaken. FPVs are still second fiddle to that.
As for what's causing most casualties, that's far too subjective. For example, artillery and mines can bog down units, and FPVs can get to work after, so there will be teamwork involved.
Air superiority is not an answer to the FPV drone problem. The law of averages doesn't work here.
You need EW and air defenses. Or at the very least physical defenses stronger than the kinetic force of the best FPV drone around.
errr… is it true?
Very likely to be true. Too many idiots in the country.
Many don't do any sort of research beforehand before accepting immigration work. Since India is poor, moving to any country sounds like a good idea to them. For example, people get suckered into working in Cambodia. But they get themselves locked up in prisons and do call center work scamming people for pretty much the entire day.

At least some sense prevails in Germany.
Forgot why I actually dropped in.
Russia's started their offensive in Kharkiv.
It's small right now, likely in preparation for a larger offensive. It's unclear if they plan to open up other fronts, like Sumy or Chernihiv.

Unguided missing artillery shapes the battlefield largely by putting craters in it. Not massively useful.
It's so far been less successful than the Ukrainian raids in Belgorod last year and far more costly on lives.
Even if we assume this actually means 440 dead and 880 stumps being transported home, it's still massive:
Lol, another nice gathering of fools:
