minus-squareAurenkin@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up5·9 days agoHoly shit that’s a lot of drones. I’m having a tough time even picturing what that many would look like.
minus-squareofficermike@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-29 days agoImagine a drone occupying a 2ft by 2ft square. You can fit 12,000 of them on one American football field. 420,000 would occupy 35 football fields. Edit: not exactly sure of the size of drones Ukraine is using, but I picked a round 2ft square as an approximation.
