⚡️ 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!

💥 The video shows an anti-aircraft battle on the night of November 14, 2023. The Air Force destroys enemy "shaheds"!

🇺🇦 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)

Yes, here's an new and interesting Veritasium video about the different types of NVGs and how they work:

I seem to recall the Ukrainians explicitly requested that people not record or show footage of air defences in action. Please remove this?

You're harming that victory by posting this.

Those were posted by the Ukranian Army. The insignia is in the upper left corner.

This is blank for me.

The insignia is in the upper left corner.

But did they put it there? Did they publish the video?

[–] LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyz 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Yes, through multiple official channels.

The official Telegram channel of the commander of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Lieutenant General Mykola Oleschuk.

Again, just a blank screen for me.

The official Telegram channel of the commander of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Lieutenant General Mykola Oleschuk.

I'm not involved in Telegram so I have no idea whether this is a genuine account posting genuine information or you've been duped by some fool posing as AFU and posting videos they shouldn't.

[–] LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyz 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Telegram is the AFU main channel of communication. I compiled a list not too long ago.
