🖋 An American mercenary from the "foreign legion" has written an open letter to those considering going to Ukraine.
In a lengthy Reddit post, the mercenary warns potential "defenders of democracy" against making hasty decisions. According to him, going to Ukraine without prior preparation is signing your own death warrant because:
1️⃣ Training for new recruits in Ukraine "does not match the risk" faced by fighters on the front lines. The standards of physical training are "laughable."
2️⃣ Fighters are not prepared for "drone warfare," resulting in many deaths. The training has not adapted, and it is much easier to die than to survive. There are "a hell of a lot of drones."
3️⃣ The technical equipment provided to fighters in Ukraine cannot be relied upon. All drones, electronic warfare devices, jammers, and other equipment will have to be brought with you.
The mercenary particularly emphasizes that the narratives promoted online by Western bloggers do not reflect reality: Western users "like to write that Russians, not Ukrainians, are being killed. Don't let them deceive you into thinking that these deaths are one-sided."
