Zelensky the Jewish President is not a nazi.

Neither are Ukrainians nazis.

Rather Putin is the Nazi. He is a dictator for the past 22 years who subordinated industry to his regime, preaches a national superiority propaganda and invades neighbours.

Putin and his supporters are Nazis.

You say that ukrainians did not want to be invaded?? Then perhaps they should have avoided the following:

I hope all of that helps clear up your thinking just a little bit....

Probably size, cost, and means of propulsion...

The Iranian drone is totally ingenious. Truck rolls out of hidden bunker, arrives at shooting station, fires off five of the thing without having to construct a runway or rail for launching, and then scoots back. Components appear to be mostly if not entirely from the realm of hobbyist FPV model aviation and could be purchased from banggood or alibaba.

By the way, the MD 550 engine itself is sold even on AliExpress, and given the sub-sanctions of Iran, most likely, all other components of the drone are also civilian.

One way to keep development and parts costs down!


(Has Iran gobbled up the US vehicle chip manufacturing process?)

The main chip the thing would use is a controller chip which is a 50 - 100 usd item on HobbyKing I’d imagine... Other components the thing would need would be similarly inexpensive. The only thing which is not civilian parts in the picture would be the warhead,probably about 50 - 100 lbs of C4 or some such. Probably about like a target taking a direct hit from from a 120mm shell or thereabouts. They claim those things are causing the ukies all manner of grief...

1. The Ukrainians didn’t “hand over their country to soros etc.” — Putin has done that by invading Ukraine, giving Soros a big boost in earnings.

2. The epicenter for child trafficking - it ain’t that - and that’s a police issue,

3. Shelling the innocent people - didn’t happen. They shelled the military installations.

4. “Banning the use of Russian language” — nope, didn’t happen. They made Ukrainian the state official language. If you want to speak Russian for your private purposes fine - but you can’t expect others to speak it. The same as in Germany where you speak Standard German for official purposes but can speak Swabian or Bavarian at home or in private as you like

5. “Biolabs” — you’re still keeping that lie? Even Putin stopped that. There were NO biowarfare labs in the Ukraine - there were biolabs for medical purposes like you have in your medical hospitals

6. Placing NATO weapons at Russia’s doorsteps??? They haven’t done so. AND NATO weapons have been at Russia’s doorsteps since 1997.

7. “Attempting to actually join NATO” — any Russian neighbour that is not a member of NATO gets invaded by Russia. Each NATO member joined because of fear of Russian invasion — and they were right.
