Today, there are nearly 70,000 women serving in the Ukrainian Armed Forces. More than 10,000 are fighting directly on the frontlines. They are not there because of a quota. They are there because they wanted to serve, and serve they are…
The drone revolution: where women excel
The character of the fight has altered. No longer is strength the limiting factor. Now it’s precision, focus, and problem-solving. Women fly the latest FPV drones, command unmanned systems units, and conduct intelligence missions in Ukraine. The Khartiia Corps claims a 20 percent increase in female recruits for combat technology positions. Why? Because a 26-year-old woman operating a drone from a basement 5 kilometers from the front lines doesn’t need to lift 200 pounds. She needs math skills, discipline, and the ability to stay cool under fire…
The more technology we have, like drones, the more historically male professions open up,” says Volodymyr Dehtyarov, spokesman for Khartiia Corps. And women are filling those roles with expertise that’s indispensable…
Oleksandra worked in a bakery. Today she’s a sniper. At 100-meter ranges she practices, her targets are precise. On the frontline, her targets are over a kilometer away. Not brute force but mathematics and discipline…
Inna Derusova, a field medic, saved over 10 soldiers in the opening hours of the invasion before she was killed. She was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine...
The United States, Britain, Germany, France, Canada, Australia, Poland! These are militaries that opened every combat role to women. None of them regretted it. All of them benefited from accessing talent they’d been leaving on the table. Poland has increased female military service by 15 percent year-over-year. Not through quotas or mandates. Because the military realized that capable women make the army stronger.

It’s 2026, dude. Women know the risk. Who are you to make that choice for them? If you study history you will find that women can be formidable warriors.
I have studied history. I have also fought in infantry combat and killed and seen my friends killed. I spent 7 months in the hospital recovering from wounds.
Combat is not the clean, antiseptic thing we have portrayed it to have become. It’s still horrific, and sleepless, and being filthy and unshowered and shitting in hastily-dug holes.
Women are not the same physically as men, and war is very physical. Young men and young women in the same unit form couples and the their allegiance is to their partners, not to he unit - and unit cohesion is critical to succeeding in your mission and your survival.
A combat unit is not a social experiment or a Petri dish. Warfare is now and always will be exactly like Belleau Wood and Wake Island and Normandy and Iwo Jima and Hue City and Fellujah.
Any country dumb enough to mix men and women in its units, loses its wars - and its future.
Did they report the number of drones that crashed?
Many Israelis decompress from the Middle East by traveling to Thailand, and have effectively taken over whole islands and towns there. The behavior of the Israelis has horrified the locals, and they have quickly become the most unliked visitors in Thailand. Most Americans are unaware of how Israelis Gone Wild behave, probably because of Jewish influence over the American media. In Thailand, the media is significantly less filtered.
Tell that to the Russians, or the Norwegians. Whether you like it or not, women are going to fight.
Not likely a draft will happen just think of the risk of many of the left get caught up in it that would be worse then the enemy.
Not listening to experience is the mark of an uneducated person. And if you’re male, you should be ashamed of yourself.
Your experience has no impact on reality. Women are in combat and they’re staying there. What label to do apply to yourself for denying reality?
And your qualifications?
Still waiting to hear your bona fides. C’mon - amaze me.
You forgot two inch penis. Give it up zippy, we are never going to agree on this.
You have answered my question - and told everyone what you are.
