Mark Hamill sent 500 drones to Ukraine in past month

Veteran actor Mark Hamill said in an interview that he has sent at least 500 drones to Ukraine through the country’s fundraising platform, as Ukraine’s ongoing conflict with Russia enters its ninth month.

During an appearance on Bloomberg Radio’s “Sound On”, Hamill, widely known for his role as Luke Skywalker in the acclaimed “Star Wars” film franchise, told host Joe Mathieu that he only sent the equipment to Ukraine because they desperately need it.

“Very simply: Ukraine needs drones. They define war outcomes, they protect their land, their people, they monitor the border, they’re eyes in the sky,” Hamill told Mathieu in the radio interview published Thursday.

“I was really shocked because they give me these updates at least two or three times a week about what’s going on and they said they’ve received over 500 drones since I started this,” Hamill concluded.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced last month that the 71-year-old actor had been named an ambassador for the country’s fundraising platform UNITED24’s “Army of Drones“ project.

United24 is an initiative that provides for the regular procurement of drones, their repair and prompt replacement, as well as pilot training for military forces.

How’d he find time off from badgering women into getting abortions? Sorry, but this guy is one of the biggest, most hateful scumbags in Hollywood.

“Very simply: Ukraine needs drones. They define war outcomes..."

That MAY be the case but there is nothing to base it on yet. It isn't like we have had so many drone wars that it could be fact based. Sooner or later these drones will be defeated and we will move on to the next shiny thing which only measure will be how many people we can kill. 'Luke' is a left tard. Another in the long line of left tards that posters such as yourself fawn over. It's surreal.

So, he’s admitting that he is an international arms provider/dealer? Don’t you need a license to talk to military leaders of other countries about providing them weapons of any kind of destruction?

Makes no sense. Luke sent 500 drones but he seems surprised that they've received 500 drones?

The drones are just for the kids to play with. Theyre very bored.
