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😂

    I think I agree to some extent, but I also think that we’re entering the territory of human psychology. Stuff like this can have the reverse effect, we can look at the effect of ISIS and their gore/snuff video campaigns which made the whole world turn against them, and had a moral bolstering effect of the opposition. Sure in the beginning people were afraid of ISIS, but then it transformed into another feeling, a feeling of revenge/justice for the murdered.

    I just want to say, this isn’t random Ukrainian editing this, the camera is on the drone, it’s obviously military propaganda. The Russians do the same, so I’m not calling out Ukraine in anyway.

      I think I get your thinking, the options would be a) to produce these clips, or b) not to. I‘m not an expert in military propaganda, maybe @LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyz can explain: How would the war evolve if let‘s say only Russia produced these videos, but Ukraine didn’t? I imagine Ukraine would look weak to the outside observer, is that correct? What other effects do you obtain from producing these?

        I don’t know, I think it’s still possible for Ukrainain military to release videos, but cut the ISIS style music videos and the horrible way of killing a person. To me personally, it gives the essence of seeing human life as being nothing more than sick joke. That’s probably how Russians can do horrible things to Ukrainains or other people, and I don’t think dehumanizing human beings is healthy for anyone or any society. And I do have a higher standard for our allies, to not become the evil they’re fighting.
