    1. Too bad the Taliban didn’t have videos of them blowing up coalition vehicles; that would have been entertaining…

    2. @Youtube music if you were there then you’d know exactly what I’m talking about. Again just proved you wrong Jack

  1. If you look at this from a different standpoint, whats to prevent Russia from doing this exact thing to all the incoming Leopard tanks? Sorry to poke holes in your story, just curious is all.

    1. There are endless videos of equipment being blown up on Telegram. It’s a certainty that there will videos of western tanks soon after they are on the battlefield.

    2. Russia has already been using the Lancet drones to target armored vehicles but with limited success. Leopard tanks are vulnerable to top-attacks so it’s definitely possible for their engines to be damaged or disabled in such an attack, but I think Russia might continue using their Lancet drones to target artillery pieces or air defense systems instead. As for countermeasures, radio-jamming is a possibility as both the Lancet drone and the drone used in the video use radio controls but it’s hard to say how effective that might be.

    1. Taliban never had drones. So there’s that and the very few they had weren’t used much passed surveillance. Just proved you wrong again jack sprat

    2. @Jumbo Me I didn’t say that the Taliban had drones; so, what exactly are you even talking about?

  3. If Ukraine kept the Nuclear warhead from USSR..Maybe the Russians will be came nice and thoughtful and constantly saying sorry.

  4. Everyone who works for this (news) is complicit in their crimes. Every last one knows what they’re doing lol

    1. Despite the worsening military situation in Donbas, civilians are still enduring shelling. Putin is once again deploying most of his forces towards his objective. The Kremlin’s strategy is similar to that of terrorists.

    2. Agreed, I bet they didn’t even hear that drone coming to get them. And we must make it even harder for them! Providing long-range weapons and aviation for Ukrainian army will allow them to neutralize russian terrorists from afar, which will save a lot of Ukrainian lives no doubt. We’re in this together, standing united is important if we want to defeat our common enemy.

    3. @Anderson Langosh Too bad the Taliban didn’t have videos of them blowing up coalition vehicles; that would have been entertaining…

    4. @Anderson Langosh (The west couldn’t even succeed in Afghanistan; and the west won’t succeed against Russia)

  5. Drones are something we should have never weaponized. They are way to powerful a weapon and can easily be deployed in cities with basically no defense against them or hope to catch the murderer using them.

    1. There are plenty of technologies for detecting and disabling drones. Drones are controlled though radio, and radio signals can be both tracked to a location and interrupted via signal jamming.

  6. Wow. Bravo. If we provide Ukraine with much more weapons and new technologies, their victory will come sooner

    1. Our mission is to aid Ukraine in reclaiming its territories together. Failing to complete our objective now could lead to a worsening of the war. Negotiations for peace are unproductive.

    2. @Zhou Gruba I think so too. We also need to realize about consequences after Ukrainian victory. Ukraine will need financial help with rebuilding

  7. Putin has initiated new steps with the start of the new year of the war. As foreseen, the conflict has intensified on all fronts. Meanwhile, Russia is systematically demolishing cities. The entire southeastern region of Ukraine is now in ruins.

    1. It pains me to see the southeast of Ukraine, it’s like scorched earth, despite the presence of millions of Ukrainian civilians. Mariupol, Bakhmut, Soledar and other towns in the area are being shelled daily. Civilians are still being killed and injured by russian attacks, and the situation overall in Donbas is deteriorating. There’s nothing to be thankful when it comes to russia. Putin and his army of murderers must be stopped by any means possible, Ukraine needs our help.

  8. Every day Ukraine shocks the world with its fortitude, moral fortitude and desire to win and defend its independence

    1. You are right. Only the defeat of Russia will end the war. And only weapons will help to win it. I hope Ukraine will have everything it needs
