A small drone with a couple of incendiary grenades can literally be carried anywhere.

There are a lot of targets that can be taken out with just that small nudge.

He needs to make up his mind. One day he's backing off, the next he is saber rattling. I think once again he's trying to shake western resolve to arm Ukraine.

[Renauda]

Good hunting, хлопчики! Tally Ho!

хлопчики (Khlopchiki - Ukrainian) = boys

@Renauda said in The Ukraine war thread:

khlopchiki

[Renauda]

@Mik

See edit above.

[Mik]

Hunting boys. Ok. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Russian diplomat complains to Turkey about Ukraine military's aggressive behavior. Seriously, you could not make this stuff up.
