💔Heavy footage that vividly demonstrates how war is changing. Now the intensity of combat actions can be determined not so much by destroyed buildings, but by the amount of optical fibre.

Pilots of the reconnaissance company of the 63rd Brigade showed what Lyman looks like now. The city is holding on, but is gradually being covered by this "cobweb". Every day hundreds of enemy and our "birds" fly here – and each one leaves its mark🥺

Bullshit. You said this:

"On the plus side, when this stuff degrades it just turns into sand. So at least there won't be a toxic waste problem on top of everything else."

After I showed it is a toxic waste problem on top over everything else you moved the goal post to "straws".

I didn't say they should stop using drones. I only refuted your claim that there's nothing to clean up afterwards.

A little plastic fiber isn't toxic waste. You are applying absolutely ridiculous standards.

I already linked to a 20 year research paper that shows micro plastics are toxic. That they aren't as toxic as lead or depleted uranium found on other battlefields doesn't make it non toxic.
