Well this is supported by Slovaks too, actually we just had a memorial day for 17th November 1989 when we started our struggle to liberate ourself from communists and from the grip of Kremlin in then Czechoslovakia.
We fundraised 266.000 € for this Blackhawk just in 24 hours. Our prime minister Fico is not amused...

Russian serviceman explains ingenious drone work by Ukrainian operators who create "drone" ambushes by landing their FPV drones in frequently visited locations or even on top of Russian vehicles, waiting for the owners to return, and exploding while they're in it.

A Leo2A6 in the Avdeevka area using typical Cold War NATO tactics, designed to confront waves of Soviet tanks. Shots of great power and precision and hide so as not to give the enemy time to target you. In Central Europe there would most likely be trees on both sides, you go out to a point with a good field of vision where the trees end, you shoot and come back.

There are only so many insignia/roundels out there that 1) have some national signficance, and 2) are easy to (re)paint - and to recognize in flight. Sometimes you just go with what you've already used.
