@lovebordercolli@AndrewPerpetua Both sides are doing this for a while now. You can see many of such videos against for instance camouflaged, net protected vehicles.
Here is a video from my YouTube channel on the solemn handover of Kornél Majoros's (top WW2 bomber pilot of Hungary) renovated grave in 2012, initiated by me. I delivered a long speech about his life, automatic English subtitles are available. https://t.co/ZV37TomPKR
Recently was the anniversary of the death of the most successful Hungarian WW2 bomber pilot, 1stLt. Kornél Majoros, KIA on 28/11/1944 by AA fire over Hungary on a Me 210. Earlier he flew 210 Ju 88 combat sorties over the Eastern Front in 1943-44. I'll publish a book on him soon.
On 27 November, 2025 was the burial in Kyiv of 21 year old Benjámin Aser (call sign 'Nemo') a Hungarian volunteer of 3rd Separate Assault Brigade who was KIA at Kharkiv on 24 May, 2025. He was not ethnic Hungarian from Transcarpathia but Hungarian citizen who was born in Hungary.
@BossClearly@insanereality Not gunfight (gunfight is when both sides has firearms). He was shot by the thief and then a buddy of the perpetrator also exited his vehicle and also shot the victim multiple times who succumbed his injuries in a hospital.
@AnfieldEdition@SPORTBILD Clash of big egos. Salah is selfish, it is a well-known fact. But he is a very prolific goalscorer, even ascended to a legend satus. Wirtz did not prove his huge transfer fee at Liverpool yet, so he should not say anything yet. He is behind in the pecking order yet need to accept
( BBC article) - Ukrainian soldier recalls his training experience at a NATO range in Poland:
The Polish side was supposed to train UAV operators, but in reality it could only provide a training ground for that, the major recalls.
“Fortunately, we took 12–15 Mavics with us, and we had one experienced pilot,” he says.
The person who became most interested in the drones was a Czech instructor — a veteran of peacekeeping missions in Afghanistan, Jakub (name changed). Together with him, “Eighteen” decided to run the exercise: Czech paratroopers were to assault the positions of the Ukrainian soldiers. The “Mavics” were supposed to help the defenders.
“After their first assault attempts, Jakub came up to me and said: ‘Hey, can we remove the Mavics?’” the major recalls.
“‘Why would we, Jakub?’ I asked him.”
“‘Well, your Mavics spot us way too quickly, and we can’t get close to you — you detect us as soon as we approach your positions,’ the Czech instructor replied.”
“I told him: ‘Jakub, unfortunately, we are preparing for war.’”
