I wonder if we can lure him away with Ukraine’s dragon drones. Everybody knows donkeys love dragons.

Say what you will but donkeys are steadier and less temperamental than horses. They are also great at protecting your livestock from predators.
How are they as APCs?
Stamina: 8/10
Speed: 5/10
Armor: 0/10
Transport capacity: 1
Easy fix, just add ERA and weld a metal mesh cage to your donkey to resist drone strikes.
And because you brought up horses I’ll bring up mules which some nations’ militaries use in mountainous regions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Camel_Corps
The United States Camel Corps was a mid-19th-century experiment by the United States Army in using camels as pack animals in the Southwestern United States. Although the camels proved to be hardy and well suited to travel through the region, the Army declined to adopt them for military use. The Civil War interfered with the experiment, which was eventually abandoned; the animals were sold at auction.
Beale wrote very favorably about the camels’ endurance and packing abilities. Among his comments was that he would rather have one camel than four mules.
