  1. According to the subtitles, this anti-aircraft unit received 10 million hryvnias ($240,000) in donations collected by the Come Back Alive Foundation from mainly Ukrainian donors. Of course, foreigners probably helped too, but it is impressive that a country in such a huge financial crisis can have a population so willing to donate to common security, congratulations

  2. good thing that Shahed didn’t fall on a munition depot or an oil refinery like it almost always happens to russians when they shoot down Ukrainian drones

    Greetings from Germany.
    Nice to see they put our tanks to good use.

    Give’em hell, boys!

  4. The people who have always complained about the Gepard ammunition deliveries that only 20.000 rounds were delivered, which is nothing because the Gepard can fire 1100 rounds per minute, should take a look at this.

    If 20 bullets are enough per shahed then 1000 shaheds can be intercepted per 20.000 rounds delivered.

    We should give them as many SPAAGs as the West can spare. I imagine it’s much more cost-efficient to shoot drones down with a cannon than the majority of AD missiles. I guess range is really the main drawback, by having to keep them positioned close to the target. I hope we send them more in the future.
