Flying that drone INSIDE that building and landing in front of a door to wait... That's some skill right there. These drone pilots are getting really good!

[LagrangePoint]

Amazing that a drone can fly into a heavily structured building and still maintain a signal! ...let alone wait for the enemy's door to open indicating no lag time from visual to control. If I opened a door and saw a drone waiting for me, it would take a quarter second to slam that door shut. Amazing.

Why Supporting Ukraine is AMERICA FIRST

Some argue the $60 billion sent yearly to Ukraine is a waste. Here’s why that’s dangerously short-sighted:
1. If Russia Takes Ukraine:
• Russia gains $26 trillion in resources (minerals, energy, and agriculture).
• It absorbs Ukraine’s military assets and potentially 1 million trained personnel, increasing its overall power by 20–30%.
• Gains control of the Black Sea, strategic trade routes, and a massive buffer zone against NATO.
2. How This Impacts the U.S.:
• To counter a far more powerful Russia, the U.S. would need to spend an extra ~$170 billion yearly, pushing defense spending past $1 trillion.
• This includes defending NATO allies, modernizing weapons, and preparing for increased Russian aggression globally.
3. Why $60 Billion Now Saves More Later:
• Supporting Ukraine weakens Russia now, stopping it from becoming an even greater threat.
• A stronger Russia risks global instability and wars that the U.S. would inevitably have to fight, at far greater costs.

Bottom Line: Would you rather spend $60 billion now to weaken Russia or ~$170 billion yearly later to contain a much stronger, more dangerous adversary? Supporting Ukraine isn’t wasteful, it’s an investment in global security and peace.

Update:

According to Ukraine Frontline website is between 15-16 trillion in resources.

The Challenger did its job - her crew survived. Tanks can be replaced.

[Military_Equipments]

The way they fly and operate these deadly drones is really amazing

[redleaderracing]

Imagine going back in time and showing this footage to someone in 1946

[Orcbotbasher]

Vladolf Putler losing more of his cannon fodder, oh dear what a shame.

[Gopferteckel]

Seeing these drones flying into buildings and under bridges neutralising the enemy is frightening and disturbing how modern warfare is heading.

[arturopiolasbellonfernan-nnzd]

El nivel de los pilotos de drones está alcanzando un nivel aterrador

[shuttlespace]

imagine what will happen If Ukraine has Fighter jets, Attack Helicopters?

[robwltz]

War in Ukraine is over a 1000 days X (times) over a 1000 casualties per day = 1 million dead or grievously injured, outstanding efforts Vlad.😡

[sammni]

The Challenger 2 is obviously considered a high value asset if the Ukrainains are keeping them for big pushes

[aleckerby]

Ukraine riding around in the second biggest world power doing what they want. When will people realise putin is just a paper warrior. Hes a closed in homosexual with nostalgic tendency. His son is open about it. If he was he would be a nicer person.

Last Night the Christmas Ghost of Stalin visited Putin and said.
Stalin. You're the worst war time leader ever but I grant you three wishes. NAME THEM.
Putin. 1. Not to lose in Ukraine. 2. To retake Kursk. 3. Not to fall out of a window,
Stalin. 1. Wish Denied. 2. Wish Denied. 3. "ARRRH SPLAT" Ops my bad.
