We're now well into the fourth year of Russia's attempted annexation of Ukraine, to which the Ukrainians said, "Get bent," and have been doing an admirable job of holding that line. Indeed, what many once believed was one of the last great powers, r.e., Russia, has been shown to be a relatively toothless bear, as the Ukrainians have absolutely shocked their counterparts who've been throwing bodies at the war since its inception.
But one of the coolest things to see, if there even is such a thing in wartime where folks are unnecessarily being killed due to long-standing idiotic views within the Russian state, are all the ingenious ways the Ukrainians have mobilized and used modern things to win battles. You've got full-scale drone warfare, cyber warfare, autonomous vehicles, stolen vehicles, and improvised weapons platforms, more commonly known within the space as technicals.
Everything from motorcycles to BMWs has been utilized to its fullest extent. And while I think the 7 Series made famous by the movie The Transporter that went viral a few weeks ago was cool as shit, this Can-Am Maverick X3 Max strapped to the gils with twin Hellfire missile launchers, the same one that's currently in my own garage minus the rockets, is perhaps the coolest of them all.
