-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

So what? What does that have to do with ZWQ's comment? What relevance does it have to why Ukrainian soldiers are saying they need more? This is why I told you to reread the comment, you, like I said in my original comment, have spent this entire conversation talking past everyone else here to make a point nobody is disagreeing with or cares about.
What makes you think your opinion on relative and absolute effectiveness means anything to Ukrainian soldiers? Do you really think they give a single fuck what weapons some armchair general thinks they should have if they want to win the war, compared to the things they can actually access?
I explained my position very clearly and repeatedly. If nobody here cares about what this is all is for then y'all are just trolling.
The one thing the supply of drones is unequivocally achieving is ensuring that more Ukrainians die to achieve the exact same outcome that would've been achieved faster without the drones, which is that Ukraine will lose the war. So, I suppose you're right that the drones are effective at ensuring there is more suffering in the process of achieving the outcome.
I should revise my earlier analogy. It's not so much like flapping your arms while you're falling, it's stabbing yourself in the eye with a rusty fork on the way down.
So no, you don't have anything relevent to ZWQ's comment to add to the conversation, you just really really need to let everyone know that fpv drones arent dangerous actually and in fact are creating new russians, not killing any.
You really are one of those people who just need to argue for the sake of arguing.
