      You haven’t been following the development of that “weapons platform” very closely, then. It’s about as likely as Trump’s plan for rare earth metals.

        I mean yeah I haven’t been following it that closely because I dont have the time or attention to follow more than the broad strokes of the war nowadays

        But even still from what I’ve seen it looks more likely than Trump’s ridiculous plan

        A lot of what I do actively consume about Ukraine is from https://youtube.com/@perunau (great channel btw), and whatever randomly crosses my lemmy feed

        EDIT:

        Wait a sec, after having done a bit of quick searching, it looks like it’s already confirmed to have been used a couple of times? And is actively in production? Why do you think it’s not real?

            Tbh most of those points are irrelevant or make no sense, and are easily refutable (Id go down the list but I really don’t have the time rn, might do it this evening)

            The only potentially valid one is the corruption stuff, but I’d have to look into it more.

            Any other sources besides some random twitter guy?

              Well, you could start by checking his sources, such as the Kyiv Independent. So, if his points are “irrelevant and make no sense”, you could start by explaining why points such as “the independent wrote about the project’s corruption” are wrong. Simply point out where he lies about the contents of the western media sources he uses (he doesn’t), I’ll wait.
