Imagine the level of Russian meddling there. Hopefully they have a low proportion of gullible voters.

In a battle of attrition it's manpower that matters most.
Let us all pause for a minute and think of that ex-girlfriend / wife... armed with a drone-delivered RPG head.

Hey Cope.
Unless your neoliberal globalist governments continue to jail opposition, ban opposing candidates and parties, use government to suppress all opposition they are finished. These globalist elites have created a Soviet like system in Europe to cling onto power but the people are waking up and the disastrous effects of this war on their economies, immigration and social systems are a big reason why. Macron, Starmer are hated by their populace and the AfD is actually the most popular party in Germany now. Mertz is an a-hole that won't last long like the loser before him. If the elections are honest and fair, these European elites will be swept from office just like the Democrats were in the US. Get ready for your side to lose again today. MRGA!!!!
BTW: Still waiting on those Taurus missiles.
LOL

The neolib playbook 101, and this goober is celebrating and hoping opposition can't run. They claim they care about democracy, but they really don't -they want totalitarian liberalism.

How are they any different than what Putin does or the old Soviet system.of communists? They use the same tactics in Europe now. They are used in the US also. The government was totally weaponized by that a-hole Obama. Biden built off of that and took it a step further.
They are nothing but a bunch of damn hypocrites.

They can use drones that Russia is also using (and might be better at using them at this point) and "they can use women" isn't the flex you think it is

Peak cope, indeed.
FPV drone teams have to be on the frontline and they're well within target range of other FPV teams and artillery/aviation, they get killed/injured too and pretty regularly. Most of the time they have to live in a trenches and basements just like any infantry on the frontline. They get killed by infantry if their position is overrun because they usually don't have any fortifications and few have close quarter combat experience. FPVs furthermore have shortcoming like being jammed, bad weather(high wind/rain/fog) and it could take up to a dozen FPVS to take out a well protected tank which Russians are now rolling in. Often times they don't take out and the tank is able to make it back.
Russia has FPV drone advantage 5:1 according to Ukrainians, it could be more now. And trust me they have still more able bodied men and 18 year olds who can fly these drones than there are willing women in Ukraine, so put the cope down, bud.

It is my understanding that Ukraine has been using the drones to help make up for the lack of manpower along the lines.

Ukraine further developed drones due lack of artillery. It is ahead in drone technology and use. Wire guided drones are worthless in forests
