The Russians have a new EW system for individual protection - the bucket.

It was the bucket that one of the Katsaps put on his head when the Ronin launched your drone at them🔪 It didn’t help.

UPD: they write that it is not a bucket. And part of the washing machine😂

    What Putin is doing is horrible to both sides. He’s killing a whole generation.

    But also, defecting is an option. So I didn’t need to feel too bad for Russian soldiers being killed since they should have surrendered or refused to fight in Putins war.

      Entire Russian units have been wiped out by their own side for trying to surrender. Defecting is an incredibly risky move.

        Right? It seems very easy to put the blame on all individual Russian soldiers, it’s not as if they have much choice. Of course, there’s a whole bunch of them acting like assholes in their role, but I’m sure there’s a whole bunch more of them who don’t particularly want to be there but are forced to.

        Better to die than to kill wrongly. But I have seen lots of videos of Russians successfully surrendering, so it’s definitely an option.

            I agree it’d be hard. But it’d still be the right thing to do to avoid murdering people. I don’t see how I need to have been in that situation to say that moral statement. I hope I’d be able to follow though.

        ok. then you take your chances getting deaded by a drone with a washing machine tub on your head, in the dark, seeing nothing but metal
