I've also read UA having great success with the US made RAAM 155mm artillery deployed mines

They also have "great success" deploying PFM-1 Lepestok anti-personnel scatterable mines over towns and villages with civilian population

That's rich coming from a supporter of Russia, who regularly shells population centers with cluster shells and bombs as a matter of course in basically every conflict

I am a Russian. And you are an American, right? So maybe we can compare the lists of "every conflict" where population centers were bombed by our own countries?

Yesss, nyet net intensifies.

I had thought very early into the drone dropping that some sort of small net would become a crucial layer of defense. 

Ideally in a professional future net, they'd probably want something like Technora line rather then wire, so as to not pose a fragmentation addition.

1. Both sides rely on atrocity propaganda. Ukrainian sources report on attacks on power plants, and this gets amplified in Western media. This despite the fact that YES KAREN, ENERGY GRIDS ARE LEGITIMATE TARGETS. The Russians exhibit amazing concern about the accuracy of Ukrainian artillery.

2. Cluster munitions are great!
