We’re talking people who believed an old woman took down a military drone with a pickle jar. Don’t overestimate their mental capabilities.
As an aside, I vaguely remember some PR stunt the Ukrainian government did back in 2014-15, during the original flare up of the civil war. They had a thing with calling their troops “cyborgs”, apparently to emphasise their supposed toughness.
Oh yes, I remember the “cyborg” stuff. Mega cringe.
I believe they stopped when pro-Donbass people on social media starting point out that “kyborg” backwards sounds very similar to the Russian word for “coffin.”
This has got to be satire, right? Right?

Yeah, “grob”
Somehow I never made that connection, but dang, you’re right and it’s hilarious. It quite literally reads “гробик” - little coffin
