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.”

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