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

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

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

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🔥

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

✅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

"We have destroyed with our drones $2.7 billion CAD of enemy equipment!

"And it's largely thanks to donations from people like you all around the world!"

Wild Hornets were honoured to be asked to make an opening ceremony presentation at the Toronto Ukrainian Festival attended by nearly 1M in Sept.

Beautiful Ukrainians!💗

We came across the most amazing scene of kids defiantly and joyously dancing on Kyiv's main street Khreshchatyk

An air raid sounded—incoming Shaheds—but air defense stopped the threat and the dancing continued

How can you not love Ukrainians

I just got back from...
