I guess $4,000,000 is considered “low cost” to the military. If I had $4 million dollars, all my problems would be solved for the rest of my life. And there would be no casualties.
Wtf is wrong with you?
Mmm, I don’t know, if you consider not being a sociopath having something wrong with me, then maybe you oughta go check your own self.
Defending Ukraine from Russia’s invasion is being a sociopath?
And there would be no casualties.
Well that’s fuckin lame. No wonder no one will give you millions.
I don’t know how any country can justify their military budget when you can supply your entire army with a trip to Walmart.
Okay but do the math real quick. Each one cost $500. There were 8,000 of them. In total, that’s not exactly pocket change.
You just don’t have any idea the scale of money involved when entire nations fight each other.
that’s not exactly pocket change
A country’s budget is more money than you can keep in your pockets. Who knew?
well that $4 million dollars was just for this one little project. they’ve got zillions of projects going on. tons of money being poured into this war.
tons of money being poured into this war
Yeah, to win it.
it’s pretty amazing that cell towers haven’t been targeted by either side
I think everyone is mutually reliant on cellular service.
Their goal is annexation as well, meaning that Russia wants to keep as much infrastructure intact as they can.
The goal was Putin staying in power and “dropping concrete slab on enitre nation”.
Putin did target power and communications infrastructure including cell towers.
It also turns out that small metal poles are a lot harder to functionally kill compared to, say, an airplane or human
i remember something about the russians targeting them in the first few weeks.
it turned out that their own encrypted comunication channels relied on the gsm network,
and they had to fallback to unencrypted radios.Sounds like average corruptio-caused incompetence. Wich sounds legit.
oopsie
Reject modernity. Embrace tradition.

By now I am convinced either McGyver was of ukranian heritage, or Ukrainian TV programs for kids is entirely reruns of McGyver. One or the other. Amazing.
