    At a cost of 1-5 drones per Russian tank, there is going to be a substantial multiplier attached to that figure. However, there is also quite a bit of critical infrastructure that needs repairing so not all of that cash can get dumped into drones, unfortunately.

      Given Russia has already adapted to the drone threat and is now advancing on all fronts, the 50 billion is going directly into zelensky’s pockets, like so much other aid.

        Sources?

        Your map analysis skills are a bit lacking and your understanding of basic technology is extremely limited, it seems.

        The only way Russia adapted to drones is by intercepting more of them with armored vehicles. Would you like vehicle counts from satellite images over the last couple of years?

    Wtf. Since when does “frozen” mean they can move it but not you?

    Ive had my bank account frozen before, does that mean they could steal it? Frozen seems to suggest it can’t be moved.

    Edit: article doesn’t say anything about how they’re gonna pay back the $50 billion after the war. Is the idea to just wait for inflation?
