Think of it as a guided hand grenade. On the battlefields of Ukraine, small, cheap drones constantly fly over opposing lines. If an enemy soldier is spotted, the drone pilot no longer attempts to drop an explosive: he simply pursues the poor devil — down trenches, around trees and straight into a reinforced bunker —until the FPV (First Person View) drone makes contact with its target and explodes.
Horrifying. And more than 90% fatal once a target has been spotted.

The other adage is “It isn’t the bullet with your name on it you have to worry about, but the one addressed: To whom it may concern.” I suppose that it more the artillery delivery method and not the sniper option.
Well this certainly depressed the hell out of me. And it’s only Monday.
To think this started with a 14 year old kid north west of Kiev that worked out most drone tactics in a day or two. He is now a high ranking officer.
We are not seeing the cases where the Russian surrenders to the drone and the drone operator goes hunting someone else because surrendering is illegal in the Russian forces so even the Ukrainians are hiding it. About 10 % of the Russian missing or “killed” are actually POW’s held in segregation from other POW’s to protect their identities. Some of the Russians fighting for Ukraine are former POW’s. That’s technically illegal under the laws of war but when asked the Ukrainians ask for an alternative and they have set EU and UN people packing when they give stupid answers.
Technically the shot gun was banned as a weapon of war in/after WW1 and there were very few used in WW2. In the Vietnam war they came back but the Russians and the UN still object to them. Laser blinder weapons are also banned. High velocity flechette rockets were banned but now everyone has them. The latter two are the go too solution for small boat attacks in the middle east but everyone’s keeping them for the big fight.
As Cap’n Mal said, “Someone’s carryin’ a bullet for you right now, doesn’t even know it. The trick is, die of old age before it finds you.”
James 4:17:
Ephesians 5:11:
I celebrate every russian that kills themselves for knowing they WILL die.
Just to give you a hefty dose of your own medicine, you said … Ephesians 5:11: “Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.” OK then … YOU are an unfruitful work of darkness. Consider yourself exposed for– The lies you’ve been caught in. The greater and lesser absurdities you spew. The case law you maliciously misinterpret and manipulate duplicitously to support your ridiculous Sovereign Citizen agenda. The Biblical scripture you blasphemously misinterpret and manipulate falsely in the same manner and towards the same goal. The U.S. Constitution you claim to know well but obviously… Read more »
