Unbelievable what these drones can do. Here's a plan to earn Ukraine more money and get unlimited drone controllers. Set the controllers up in bars in NATO countries. For 20$, and the other NATO countries equivalent, you get your very own drone and if you make a verified kill, you get a free beer. Everybody wins

I would count a drone as a kill. The pilot was flying in contested airspace.

I am seeing some stories along the lines that Lukashenko sends harsh warning to Putin. Whilst I don't believe for a moment that he would actually take any action against Putin or he will be a leading contender for the Skydiving for beginners club. I cannot but hope that he is starting to feel as if things are not going well for Putin and is starting to hedge his bets.
