We are now just $300 short of fully funding the second Hornet Vision CTRL station for the SOF. That’s all that stands between us and getting this station equipped and into operation. Just $300. Let’s close it today so the guys can start putting it to work against Russian drones Campaign below 👇👇👇

I’d say Russia is like Spain, but with nukes and a superiority-complex. And of course it’s bigger, colder, poorer, dirtier, and has a much more developed capacity for violence and aggression.

No country *needs* to dominate its neighbours. No country should get to demand respect it hasn’t earned. No country should be allowed to attack to satisfy its desires. For far too long, the West has been coddling Ru. That's why we're here.

Thanks for these Trump «retruths» (quotations used correctly and intentionally). It’s easy to forget, when you don’t read his shit on a daily basis, how utterly and deeply unwell, incompetent, and rambling this man is.

Don't get us wrong. Ukrainians are not being offered peace. We will either fight to remain free on our own land — or, if conquered by Moscow, be forced to fight its imperial wars against other free nations. That is the choice russia is generously offering. Not war or peace.

Moldovan police found wreckage of a jet-powered Geran-4 drone in the village of Brănești, around 25 km from the country’s border with Ukraine. According to the police report, the UAV detonated after colliding with tree branches. #Moldova

Researchers mapped the main flight zones of Russian drones. The map suggests relay stations keeping UAVs linked to operators may be located not only in Russia and occupied Ukraine, but also in Belarus and occupied Transnistria.

Its not like I’m the first to make this observation, but communists and fascists always end up with the same conclusion. Fascists: Russia is good because it supports traditional values (violence, men are men, women are women) Communists: Russia is good because its the enemy of NATO
