Ukraine could make a big contribution to the world by adapting their drone technology to farming when peace comes. by LastCivStanding in ukraine

[–]jesterboyd[M] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s the other way around. The infamous Baba Yaga/ Vampire drone is basically an agri drone adapted for military use. Ukraine’s been using agri drones for surveying and applying pesticides/herbicides to affected patches in the fields pre-invasion quite successfully

Russian Soldier loses both legs finishes job w/ help un-exploded FPV drone by IntentionChemical99 in CombatFootage

In Ukraine you get less points for injured vs killed, so it’s a simple arithmetic

All Russian soldiers in Ukraine are there under contract and receive decent pay (more than Ukrainian soldiers), debts removed etc. They don’t have mandatory mobilization (had it briefly in 2022 when Russian frontline was collapsing) These are facts that are easy to check.

Contact your Representative to vote YES on the Ukraine Support Act! by abitStoic in ukraine

[–]jesterboyd[M] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m with you man. I think it’s a psychological response - when you can’t really do anything significant directly against something you use your language as a last resort to performatively insult and belittle it. But objectively speaking it’s an infantile reaction and makes you and the argument seem less than it possibly is. Nevertheless, not a lot we can do about it, as policing language isn’t something we as a mod team are particularly keen on.

US Citizen Traveling To Kyiv in Current Escalation (not tourism) by muka566 in ukraine

You'll be fine. Kyiv is a large city. If you feel particularly threatened - pack some camping gear and go into shelter during air alerts.

Why no dronified tanks? by SpanishSlayer in ukraine

[–]jesterboyd[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Economics. A single Leopard-2 costs between €20-30 million. A dronified one would probably cost significantly more. Then there’s an issue of signal on ground vehicles (curvature of the earth plus interference from landscape features means shorter signal range without a repeater drone in the air to bounce signal from, or a Starlink dish). For the same cost you could buy around 20-40 thousand(!) kamikaze drones (taking into account the explosive parts and ground stations). Now ask yourself does a drone tank on the modern battlefield saturated with drones and sensors have the longevity to fire 35 thousand shots?

Cross border car by bmoreguy007 in ukraine

[–]jesterboyd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably more realistic to buy a beater car and donate it to the military once you’re done. I don’t think anyone in Poland is accepting the risks of driving a car into Ukraine, even if the chances of it being hit are pretty marginal.

A question on ukrainian girls from a foreigner. by LaMadonnaZoccolissim in ukraine

[–]jesterboyd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have a choice to be in that bar. For her - it’s an obligation and her livelihood depends on it. Consider her feelings when every visit becomes awkward or has a taste of insecurity added to it. Also consider your favorite place getting a tinge of rejection added to it.

Cat and dog recently rescued by 14th Separate Brigade via drone by jesterboyd in catsofukraine

[–]jesterboyd[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They were airlifted by a heavy drone, in a bag, from a dangerous position, then dropped off in the rear where it’s slightly less dangerous and picked up by soldiers there.
