It's sometimes easier to hack an enemy recon drone's signal than send up your own drone to find the invaders

That's what the 210th Assault Regiment did—using a hacked feed to target an FPV strike on a ruzzian position🤓

Let's send the 210th more drones! Join our raffle⤵ for the 210th & HUR spec ops

I guess you would have welcomed the Nazis during WWII then instead of putting up a fight

Do you advocate the same for people who have been abused as well? They shouldn't take any action to protect themselves?

Yes, I will block you! Yours is the philosophy that both colonial powers and abusers love

The first stop to make in Kyiv is the memorial for fallen defenders at Independence Square (the "Maidan")

Each flag is a soldier killed fighting the invaders. There are thousands

Deep bow and eternal memory for these fallen Heroes who gave their lives for Ukraine and freedom for us all...

We don't know what the ruzzians were thinking when they came to kill Ukrainians, but we know they're not thinking anything now

The 210th Assault Regiment stomped an enemy recon unit sneaking around in Zaporizhya

Kyiv was literally surrounded by the fuckers

Incredible Ukrainian air defenders downed over 95% of the ruzzian drones and 90% of the missiles

But some still got through

Four were killed (including 12-year-old Oleksandra Polishchuk⤵) and over 70 injured in the attack

The attack was one of the biggest on Kyiv of the whole war

When the insane neighbour wants nothing more than to kill you, it is little wonder that many Ukrainian civilians learn to use guns

Want to send something more potent than an AR-15 to fight the invaders?

Join our Wild Hornets raffle to fund FPV drones for HUR military intelligence's "Arey" (Ares) special-forces artillery unit and the crack 210th Assault Regiment

Bull's eye!🎯

What was I targeting in my mind at the gun range on a very rare Wild Hornets day off?

Hint—earlier that morning...

0430: Loud explosion, loner Shahed? Fell back asleep

0600: Woke to a mass ruzzian attack with 595 drones and 48 missiles, mostly at Kyiv

Fighters of the 210th Regiment have taken part in many of the toughest battles of the full-scale war—the battle of Kyiv, Kursk operation, defense of Pokrovsk, Kupiansk and Sumy💪

They now fight in Donetsk and Zaporizhya🔥

Day 1 back in Ukraine... 01:09—air raid alert

01:23—nearby explosion (trolleybus hit by Shahed debris, no one hurt)

Next day—tour expanded Wild Hornets HQ. Sweet Jesus, the team has been busy!

✅The 3D printer farm has grown from seven last April to nearly 300—one of Ukraine's biggest

✅Continual improvement is the team's lifeblood—Ukrainian style: The facilities are a beehive (hornet hive?) of lively technical discussion and collective (not top-down) decisions

✅Each day starts with a question: How can we make more and better drones to destroy the enemy who wants to kill us?

✅Lean manufacturing processes are in place that would make Toyota jealous. Workspaces are clean, tidy and organized

✅Almost every day the team uses the vehicle funded by our mobile lab raffle (thank you once more!) to go to a field site to test new innovations and train soldiers on our drones

✅STING production has exploded to destroy the Shaheds

✅More drone parts are now made in-house thanks to a bank of new CNC printers, including four funded by our equipment raffle and a sponsor last spring—thank you!

✅The team and facilities have expanded by [REDACTED] times, again!
