  1. Why are we allowing the shipment of anything to Russia?

  2. The controllers are made in china and ally of Russia. 

  3. Nice, I’m surprised we even make controllers in Britain 

  4. Force them to use mouse and keyboard, instead of relying on Aim Assist like console plebs… sorry, I had to 😂

  5. If they are Xbox I’m surprised they do fuck anyway with all the stick drift.

  6. Start shipping used XBox controllers. They all have stick drift, they won’t be able to hit anything using them.

  7. “Ivan, get the old box of Thrustmasters out of the closet and tell the troops there will be no force feedback or adaptive triggers”

  8. Lmao . I know this is just a funny article because the uk makes none of these things . If anything they cut the middle men (uk) and Russia can just buy from the supplier (china) which they already do anyway. 

  9. Ffs. I wouldn’t send them the peanuts out of my shit. Let alone any tech !

  10. Yeah i’m sure this will do much!!! All our controllers come from china….

  11. Calculate the average flight time.

    Add chip to the controllers that flips the control stick axis 70% of that long after being powered on.

    Continue selling

    Until they figure out the chip their only way to test things will be to fly around for long periods doing nothing wasting huge amounts of time, more likely the drones just all crash 70% in and they assume they were hit or something.

  12. I doubt they are buying many controllers from the UK anyway when Ali express is much cheaper

  13. Oh yes UK hurting UK export market capabilities.

    Yes let’s not just double profit off of the war when It already takes 30 to 45 days for packages to get to Russia for fuck sakes imagine how pissed off the retro community is over this now, all those people making custom controller moulds who want to sell to the eastern block are now kind of screwed.

  14. Damn, there goes my multi million pound idea of reselling controllers off AliExpress to Russia.

  15. Why don’t we send them the controllers with stick drift that’ll really fuck them up!

  16. They might have to resort to Logitech controllers soon…
