Meaty infantry assault actions!

This is what is happening in the Pokrovsky direction in the area of responsibility of the 47th separate mechanized brigade . Armored vehicles are protected by the Russian command, instead, they throw the Russians to the slaughter.

Strike Drone Company's Unmanned Systems Battalion repulses occupier attacks with FPV. In this way, drone operators prevent the accumulation of Russians.

Thank you for your thoughtful question.

My response was probably very emotional in that I took the infantry role very personally. There is a million ways for a grunt to get taken out in battle. However, mostly each combatant takes a measure of risk - including pilots and artillerymen. In the case of drone operators you could be blown up by some cunt sitting in his pajamas taking no personal risk in the fight.

Don't bother arguing that this also can happen in a score of different scenarios - I get it. This is an emotional reaction, but feel the same as for IEDs. Australia banned the use of landmines under the Ottawa Treaty for this reason in 1999.

I don't expect much support for this view, and that's cool. It just seems cowardly.

If it's helpful the FPV pilots are nearby and are a priority target for each side.

These are essentially loitering munitions---a mass-produced version of the switchblade. I personally think that the next phase is that people will develop really good weapons for knocking them out of the sky, either by shooting them down (maybe the combat shotgun makes a comeback?) or ECM or both. Hopefully Ukraine is ahead of Russia on this.

I hope so, Brother.

Honestly your reaction and response are completely understandable from where I stand.

Extraordinarily well written response to a question many might consider impertinent, even though the question itself was well stated. Thanks for that.

Thanks man. Many will consider me naive, and perhaps I am?

I just get no joy in seeing these vids even if the Russians put themselves in harm's way. Some didn't, but we're forced at the point of a gun. Shitty way to go in either case.

Peace out.

Honestly I don't get you. You are mad at "pajama-clad cunt" who is very much still in danger, but more importantly, is only defending his country and loved ones, instead of the real cunts in Kremlin who are responsible for it all.

I couldn't be clearer in what I said. If you don't understand my point of view I suggest that you reread my statements.

On the other hand, if you don't agree with me, then that's fine as well.
