The FBI knew the Steele dossier was based on Russian misinformation

PJ Media:
In a Friday night, holiday weekend document dump, we're now learning that before the Mueller investigation began, the FBI knew that at least part of the ridiculous so-called Steele dossier was based upon planted Russian disinformation.

Worse, according to Senator Ron Johnson in a Wall Street Journal op-ed released Friday night, the FBI continually lied about the provenance of the fake dossier information and only showed the FISA court and inspector general damning information about President Trump's election team. Exculpatory information was left out.
More outrageously is the fact that this information was known to the FBI's top brass and Hillary Clinton's muckrakers, Fusion GPS, in October thru December of 2016 — months before Robert Mueller was assigned to investigate RussiaGate, according to CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge:
 ...
There is more.

That the FBI used the Steele dossier to get a FISA warrant to spy on the Trump campaign knowing that it was Russian disinformation is more than a bad look.  If lawyers in the DOJ and FBI were responsible for this they should have to answer to the Bar Association as well as potential criminal prosecution.  It is a demonstration of the bad faith surrounding the Russian collusion hoax from the beginning.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
