      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.

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          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.

                        khlopchiki

                        OK, none of the translators are coming up with anything. What's a khlopchiki?
