Hello, I am a South Korean student, 13 years of age, currently going to NaeJung Middle School, going by the name of EunSeo Hwang. I am frightened, as we all are, of the outcome of this war.

Yet, Ukrainian soldiers stand their ground and fight. The heartfelt support from people all over the world has given them another spark of hope. Both sides are suffering losses- it is important to remember that not all these Russian and Ukrainian soldiers are fighting to kill and to destroy the other side as of cold hearted malice- they fight for their lives, for their people and for their families waiting for them desperately. I am confident all of you here know this very well. I want to thank CNN for keeping us informed on the deathly battle between the two forces- I do not think I could live if I were to stay completely ignorant.

War sucks, but it also seems like the right time in UA to really start testing anti-drone systems. It's going to be a critical part of any war soon. As AI becomes integrated, the skies are going to be filled with them. I would argue they will be more impactful than 100 million dollar fighter jets. Control of the low altitude for drones is going to be critical.

[@Lorrdd]

This speaks to the difference in development. Our nations (Canadian, assume you're American) are for more developed than Ukraine is, and most of the warfare going on there simply would not work here. Drones operate within a fixed radio band, jamming those bands leaves all our infrastructure intact while disabling drones. Oh, then there's directed EMPs which both our nations have, which we'd simply need to point in the vague direction of incoming drones and they all fall out of the sky. Small drone warfare is, ironically, only suited to the less advanced. The Iranian drone is just a kamikaze minus the pilot, the removed the waste of life, but single use equipment is no good, be like in the old days using flintlock pistols and throwing it aside the moment you fire since it's useless now. (Actually a great scene in the show Sleepy Hollow where Ichabod, a recently resurrected revolutionary soldier fighting against hell, who fights for the English, and he's given a handgun which he throws away after a single shot, not realizing they had multiple rounds now, "Would that not have been useful information to share before?!")

[@cashaeleatemla]

Less than one mile from the Russian lines, a Ukrainian soldier sweats through the late-night chill as he readies the first of the night’s armed drones. A red lamp attached to his head casts a dim light as he works. The drone’s launching pad is made of battlefield debris-shattered ammunition crates, limbs from trees-concealed inside a fresh bomb crater. Once the drone is airborne, pilot and navigator confront a flurry of warning messages: “GPS ERROR” followed moments later by “BATTERY FAULT.” The drone crashes. It’s the start of a long, typical night for the Achilles Battalion on Ukraine’s eastern front. Since June 2023, propaganda videos from both Ukrainian and Russian drones-known as first person view (FPV) drones-have spread across social media platforms, creating a new and modern narrative for the grinding war. The videos show drones that explode on impact, destroying vehicles, cutting down unaware soldiers or those fleeing the assault. At this point in the war, drone pilot is a highly sought-after role among Ukrainian forces. The fierce competition for the rare open positions draws both injured soldiers who must continue to serve and new soldiers wishing to avoid the horrors of frontline combat. . A member of the Night Bombers unit prepares to launch an FPV drone from an artillery crater, using smashed ammunition boxes as a launching pad. In April, I traveled to Ukraine and attached with the 92nd Brigade’s Achilles Battalion, whose soldiers were making a name for themselves as a professional drone unit. With the frontline teams, I witnessed the intense and anxious moments as they piloted their drones over Ukrainian forward positions and into Russian territory. I also watched units a few miles from the front that were arming and assembling drones, driven by a mix of anxiety and innovation as they repurposed materials to deploy against the enemy.

Russia have the right to defence her self

[@andrewadams6905]

Yes, just like any criminal, Russia has the right to defend itself in court. The ICC already issued an order for arrest of war criminal Fuhrer Putin.

A Tribute to Ukraine The Fight Where were you when the walls came crumbling down. Fearing for our lives In our home towns. Where children once played Laughter was everywhere We now find graves Seems like only...we care. But now, We're standing side by side Defending arm in arm Praying for our lives. And now, We're standing toe to toe Fighting hand to hand Dying for our nation's soul. Instrumental 🎶 If we lose. If this was our last fight. I promise you We didn't run and hide. Only one way to live Head high and full of pride What we would give Our blood and tears we cried. But now, We're standing side by side Defending arm in arm Praying for our lives. And now, We're standing toe to toe Fighting hand to hand Dying for our nation's soul. Instrumental 🎶 A burst of lightning coming from the morning sky confuses all We will not run and hide. But now, We're standing side by side Defending arm in arm Praying for our lives. And now, We're standing toe to toe Fighting hand to hand Dying for our nation's..... And then, There's one thing that remains. Fight until the death Fight for our Ukraine. But now, Our prayers were not met By those who stood by By those who would forget. .

I see a lot of comments saying "I support Ukraine", but I'm afraid just a comment is not enough. If you really want to support Ukraine, do the right thing and VOTE for a president and / or political party that supports Ukraine. That is much more valuable than a random comment.

The only thing sad is that a senile megalomaniacal dictator decided to invade his neighbour and that Ukrainians are losing their lives, loved ones and land because of it.

Uhh the drone was able to drop their payload, so their electronic warfare isn’t that good lol….
