- 🧵1/ Mr. Trump. Ukraine does have cards. Ukraine’s engineers hit Russia 7,000 times with homegrown tech While allies debated aid, Ukraine’s defense exploded tenfold—unleashing record‑range drones, budget cruise missiles, and a wartime tech revolution. Here’s how they did it 👇
- 🧵1/ Putin is acting tough, but the cracks are showing. His offensives are costing thousands of lives for inches of land. Meanwhile, Ukraine is growing stronger technologically as cheap drones inflict up to 80% of russian casualties.

- 🧵1/ “Kill a navy for the price of a car.” ⚓ Ukraine’s $250K sea drones are dismantling Russia’s Black Sea Fleet and now their air force — these drones sink warships, shoot down fighter jets and helicopters, and are transforming naval warfare. Here's how they're doing it.👇
- 🧵1/ Ukraine is now a drone superpower. 🇺🇦 Ukrainian wartime innovation offers important lessons. Kyiv is showing us what the future of warfare looks like. Here’s what Ukraine is teaching NATO. 👇
