“But if the Ukrainians could locate a warehouse complex full of tanks 10 miles behind the front line, why not strike it with much heavier weapons than drones—artillery, rockets, even glide-bombs—and guarantee the instantaneous destruction of the entire complex?”
“The answer is obvious. The United States was the main supplier of Ukraine’s heavy munitions, and Russia-aligned Republicans in the U.S. Congress since October have refused to vote on fresh aid to Ukraine. Ukrainian forces are running out of their heaviest weapons.”
The article says destroying Russias best tanks and artillery units only cost Ukraine about 5 thousand dollars using the drones. Great, awesome send them 30 thousand dollars and we’re done spending billions overseas when that money can be spent to fix problems at home.
Pedantically: I’m not sure it was a warehouse with open doors. It looked like some kind of drying barn, deliberately built with open sides & doorways; maybe not a perfectly secure place to store tanks, but under a roof is better than leaving them under the sky.
nice. and for a fraction of a price of missile.
“The door was open so I thought I’d drop by and say BANG!”
Beautiful work. Seems like they got a few good targets destroyed there.
Oh my ffffucking god, this is so satisfying. Ukranians are absolute drone masters.
Weak “damage control” after the defeat in Avdeevka. By the way, Russian troops took another village of Pobeda near Marinka, southwest of Avdeevka. Ukrainian positions continue to collapse.
Loving the low battery.
Avdiivka has fallen, and the Russians will continue to crush the bad guys and the APU . Look at the facts.
who needs doors, when the warehouse only had walls half way to the roof
The fact its being hit with drones and not just flattened by arty or HIMARS speaks to the ammunition shortage :/
Damn, give these guys our now-retired Predator inventory and see what they can really do!
It’s insane how quickly the GOP has become the party of Putin because of one orange idiot on whom he presumably has mountains of Kompromat. We could be defeating Putin for absolute peanuts compared to basically any other option and we’re just sitting on our hands.
‘Russia-aligned Republicans’ how did it come to this. Reagan must be rolling in his grave
Does anyone know the name of the network quoted in the article that builds the drones?
We need to resume assistance to Ukraine. I don’t understand why any western nation wouldn’t want them on their side.
Fuck Putin.
I like to picture in my head that the drone is dressed like a Russian solider trying to sneak in, only for the operator to realize there’s actually no security.

We get it David, you’re living your best life, no need to rub it in.
That’s Russia’s best and brightest for you.
All those imports from the prisons of Siberia and various countries in Africa aren’t working out so well.
Is this an Ukrainian cover of zombie ?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH. Fuck you Putin
Republicans can go fuck themselves.
The social media team needs a raise. Not only giving us footage but someone actually said “let’s put Zombie to this”
