Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Summary

Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy reported nearly 500 drone attacks and over 20 missile strikes by Russia in the past week, calling it a “testing ground” for Russian weapons.

Russia launched 460 Shahed drones, produced in domestic factories, which, though cost-effective and easier to neutralize, strain Ukraine’s air defenses.

Recent attacks, including Russia’s use of the Oreshnik ballistic missile, escalate tensions.

Ukraine urges allies for more air defense systems, while debates over supplying Ukraine with long-range missiles and potential NATO membership intensify among Western nations.

No shit. They are just now figuring this out? This has always been a testing ground for drone warfare.

His point is that Russia wants to go farther with what they learn from Ukraine.

Surprise, surprise, he wants to enlist help to save his country (and half of eastern Europe).

Right. It’s the demo for WWIII: Drone Wars
