β‘οΈ Every destroyed aerial target: an attack drone or a cruise missile, is not easily given to the defenders of the sky. But every destroyed target is a saved life and health of Ukrainians, surviving property and infrastructure of the country.
I am grateful to everyone who holds the Ukrainian sky!

πΊπ¦ Together - to victory!
Are those stars it sees in the sky?
Looking at the night sky with legit night vision is the most epic experience. No matter where your standing it looks like your standing at the top of a mountain somehwere with no light pollution.
I seriously hate living in that dark red blob of light pollution in central Europe. I haven't seen a proper sky with stars in decades by now. It's all this mushy grey brown noise, with the odd bright one dimly flickering through. It's really sad. As a kid I loved looking up into the night sky, watching all the stars twinkle. And that was already nowhere near as close to close to no light pollution either.
Same. Check out this map. Find a place and make a trip out of it. Seeing the stars is a great excuse to camp/hike

The next green spot is almost 60 km away, the next blue one over 110 km. I'm part of that fat cluster in Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium.
I have to drive about 5 hours to get to the grey (US)
