Wow Ukraine really is bombing them back to the stone age.

Honestly, if that guy can knock out a drone with a rock from a sling like that, he's an unbelievable badass and deserves respect.

  1. Slings are fucking DEADLY

  2. Slings are very accurate

  3. They can be made from simple household materials

  4. They are very quick to become proficient at

  5. Ammo is free and everywhere

Slings are like nature's 12 gauge

I see they've upgraded from large sticks to stone slings. Next up is... bows and arrows with stone heads?

I can’t imagine a sling is more effective than a gun

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Much worse than a shotgun with bird shot, but when compared to a rifle or pistol, a sling is easier to learn, and also easier for a beginner to hit a slow moving target like a rabbit or bird.

Training will quickly reverse that, but training takes time and resources.

You think they're running out of rocks too?

What’s that plane statue over there? Looks cool

[–] LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 hours ago

A-90 Orlyonok.

If the drone is low enough for this guy to explode with a sling, it's already reached its target.

Also curtains for him and everyone within the blast radius.
