Pretty cool. Especially the rain thing, that impressed me.

There are 17 cats in the Quick Death strike drone company of the Kharkiv Border Detachment
They’re the most sensitive sensors:as soon as the enemy launches a KAB bomb,the cats disappear into the dugouts with lightning speed.Their reaction is an unmistakable alarm signal.Cats also help relieve stress

One thing about having old hardware is that you can dispel myths that have come about re: performance/visuals.

Trump never ever wanted to give arms to Ukraine.

JD Vance is worse, but let me tell you why I believe you’re wrong.

Vance will be a lame duck, and they might even impeach.

Shame, disgust, and failure are the only words that spring to mind to describe the pathetic pseudo ‘diplomacy’ that JD Vance and Trump displayed.

Europe and Ukraine stand alone.
