🤡This is a circus! Three idiots thought they could storm the positions of the 63rd Brigade in the Serebryansky Forest by wearing anti-drone cloaks… in broad daylight.

In reality, they just became an even more visible, clumsy, and downright comical target — one you could spot from space. So pilots from the BBS unit, the 107th Battalion, the 105th, and the 55th all swarmed these fools. Even artillery joined in. The result? Obvious. ☺️

What do you think they would have done if they weren't detected?

In your mind, what does that have to do with the emotional tone of this post?

My point is them being spotted and killed is a good thing for the Ukrainians. I'm not going to blame people for being happy about it. Also you're taking a lot of agency away from the Russians here. A not insignificant number of them are contracted rather than conscripted, especially the ones on the front.

Regardless of whether they are conscripts or mercs, the whole premise of this post is that they are deeply ignorant. And their ignorance is being exploited to the detriment of both themselves and others. These three people are clearly not people that need to be demonized (*) and dehumanized, except so that we can feel good about killing vulnerable victims on the other side before they can kill us.

*) Criticism and demonization are not the same thing. It is absolutely fair to be critical that they are not sacrificing themselves for others. To mock them as "clowns" and insist that they deserve to die for being stupid is not criticism, it's self-manipulation.
