On the Front Lines With Ukraine’s Killer Drone Pilot | WSJ

Four ways Ukraine’s drone innovations are changing warfare: on.wsj.com/3Y2ssV3

[@kyivstuff]

Thank you for this report!

[@LogicVsFacts]

Thanks to US-UK taxpayers.

[@kyivstuff]

@@LogicVsFacts Most of the money that the US government allocates as the help to Ukraine goes to military complex businesses inside of the US and to their workers. Most of the drones that Ukrainians use are made out of cheep Chinese components bought on donations of Ukrainian citizens to volunteer organisations. But Ukrainians are indeed very grateful for the US aid in whatever form the US taxpayers are providing it.

Four ways Ukraine is revolutionizing war crimes

Biden is a liar. where is weapons to Ukraine wins ? its a US hegemon power ? 30 tanks and ZERO planes...lol

[@Yokovich_]

That intercepted video of the Russian drone is insane...

[@paswordpasword9582]

And them laughing at his terrible piloting as its going towards their house! like what!!!!

[@dontepeterschmidt6238]

watched what i believe was a Vice interview with this guy nearly a year ago. Glad to see he's still alive and kicking.

[@Paulkjoss]

Thought I’d seen him before

[@TimMountjoy-zy2fd]

High quality reporting and you see and feel the cat and mouse lives of the drone operators where they switch from hunter to hunted and back again. One of the best insights into drome warfare I have seen.

[@liljackass6998]

this is the kind of journalism i want

[@definitely_not_a_robot]

Those Ukrainian soldiers are BAMFs.

[@ThisHandleWasTheOnly1Available]

Not really a great idea to show this guy's face. Drone pilots are treated the same as snipers. Neither side is too keen on letting them surrender.

[@swaggery]

He's been in KZbin videos before with his full face.

[@ibk9987]

Indeed. WAR is a DEVASTATING EXPERIENCE for EVERY individual.

They are changing positions fast to avoid being hit with aviation after drone fails🔥🔥🔥

How Can Anybody With Morals & Principles Support Russia's Ambitions and Aims to Annex Ukraine ?

[@MikeSmithJunior]

How can you support a war that you know you'll lose?

[@Alonso_Z01]

That's a Surface level question. That would only come from an ignorant person. Russia doesn't have any ambition. But maybe USA has an ambition to rule the whole world however they want to?

[@jingle1840]

He should know the risk

[@rupamar]

I'm not sure he realise it.

[@HikerHansen]

With Ukraine allowing this, they must be using him as a prop to instill fear in Russains. So yes, it would make it big target as well.

[@nicktubby9710]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4CXkJmwgM6smaMsi=xbRx7vG_Zne-oOqZ He's featured in videos with millions of views months ago. He's in a dangerous job, but it's more dangerous to not do it and allow Russia to take over Ukraine.

Wasnt there already a video about him? I could swear I Saw a video about that drone topic with him before

these experienced people shouldn't be on frontlines but back somewhere safe doing R&D for something better one.

And years ago Amazon proposed drone deliveries. This has changed modern warfare. Gonna be worse when AI and robots added.

🎯 Key points for quick navigation: 00:00:55 *🎮 The drone operation feels like a video game, reflecting its routine nature in modern warfare.* 01:54 *⚠️ Despite the danger, the mission is necessary and part of daily life for drone operators.* 03:15 *🚨 Operators are trained to react quickly to threats, emphasizing the constant vigilance required.* 03:53 *🏭 Drone production has significantly increased, from 10 drones every two weeks to 100 per day.* 05:25 *🤖 Operators often feel a deep connection to the drones, as if they are an extension of themselves.* 06:44 *🚁 Drone pilots are committed to continuing their work despite attacks on their positions.* 08:06 *📡 Jamming technology interfered with a drone mission, causing a crash near the target area.* 09:59 *🛰️ There's a possibility that adversaries intercepted video feeds to locate and attack their position.* Made with HARPA AI

[@bbkotak]

please make a video on how defences are sold and how the middleman works, really curious.

[@auro1986]

this is one of many weapons of advanced technology by america

[@fts2663]

These are Chinese drones

[@SDS007fi]

Litterly none of those are made or supplied by US. We have to improvise, as it takes 1-3 business years for the US to send single rocket. Not that we are not greatfull, but we don’t have a luxury of waiting for US to decide how scared they are of Russian bushit today in scale from 1 to 10.

И крест Вермахта на машине

[@maxya2]

На украинских землях белый равноконечный крест исторически считается хоругвью казачества. Он изображен, в частности, на флаге 1651 года, хранящемся в Стокгольмском музее. Такой крест есть и на флаге гетьмана Богдана Хмельницкого. Поддерживают традиции и современные украинские руководители.

[@roberthoward9500]

Without them Ukraine may have lost this war. Ukraine is fighting to survive and there is just as much honour with drone warfare as there was being in a B-17 or Lancaster in WW2, more even as a lot fewer civilians die in drone warfare.

[@3v3y]

War isn’t about honor it’s about winning

[@SQERDOMOONLIGHT]

How about we spent money on our own citizens first

[@definitely_not_a_robot]

Those money “sent” to Ukraine is mostly an accounting trick to allow the US military to send its old, expiring equipment away instead of spending the same or more money on destroying it. But even if it weren’t, it would still be money well spent. If Putin takes Ukraine, that means the USA loses its biggest trading partner. Where will the US sell its pharmaceuticals, oil, LNG, and machinery? Say goodbye to those good US jobs.

[@cfnmedia]

How about no, that would be idiotic

[@_0______00__________0_______0]

If you are American, at least 94% of taxpayer money is spent on US citizens, probably higher. 1% is spent internationally and 5% on "other". So the good news is that money is spent on citizens first.

[@3v3y]

@@SQERDOMOONLIGHT drones are cheap and bought by Ukrainian civilians for the military

[@BodnarchukR]

How about being responsible for forcing denuclearization and disarming(missiles and strategic aviation) of Ukraine under threat of isolation in 1994 by the US?

America. Learn from Ukraine.
