“The proposal would include a ground control station to operate the drones almost anywhere, according to a letter reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. The proposal was made by Linden Blue, chief executive officer of General Atomics, which makes the Reapers, to Ukraine’s defense attaché in Washington last week. […] The White House, which would have to approve the sale, declined to comment. The Ukrainian government also declined to comment,” WSJ wrote.

That's some bugs bunny looney toons name right there - General Atomics. I bet they invent the world first portable hole.

I'll bet those drones will be piloted out of a small office complex in Indiana.

Indiana's just a front for a complex intercontinental computer network which links real world drone missions to video game players around the world ala Ender's Game. These suckers, according to sources in Indiana, "pay us to play".

Igor Krasnov told Russian President Vladimir Putin that almost 9,000 reservists were mobilized illegally, according to a transcript of their conversation released by the Kremlin on Tuesday.

Someone needs to tell Igor to stay on the ground floors forever more.

Ah the ole bait and switch!

And Russian anti-tank weapons will turn those Leopard I's into smoldering piles of molten steel just like the Ukrainian ones did the Russian tanks.

They have shit tons of them because Ukraine didn't have any armor to speak of to use them against from the outset.
