The Russians have a new EW system for individual protection - the bucket.

It was the bucket that one of the Katsaps put on his head when the Ronin launched your drone at them🔪 It didn't help.

UPD: they write that it is not a bucket. And part of the washing machine😂

Better to die than to kill wrongly. But I have seen lots of videos of Russians successfully surrendering, so it's definitely an option.

Better to die than to kill wrongly.

Bold words from someone who’s never been faced with that choice.

I agree it'd be hard. But it'd still be the right thing to do to avoid murdering people. I don't see how I need to have been in that situation to say that moral statement. I hope I'd be able to follow though.
