Our soldiers are passing through a mined area to save a downed drone (worth UAH 600,000).

    This is where the value of human life comes into play and why financial contributions equal lives. Would you risk being killed or maimed for 16k? Even for the poorest Americans, that’s equal to less than a years worth of work. This dude is out there risking it all to pick it up again. Nobody should feel obligated to risk their lives to retrieve a drone like that. That said, I’d probably be tempted to grab a metal detector and make my way out there if I were fighting for my backyard as well.

      It’s not like there was just a stack of $16,000 sitting out there in the minefield. There was a tool sitting out there that they could be using to kill Russians and save Ukrainians. A stack of $16,000 is worthless out there on the battlefield, but having that drone could mean everything. So I understand taking risks like this.

      The problem is: what’s more risk, walking the minefield to get the drone back, or not walking the minefield, not having the drone, and having to deal with the Russians that the drone could have taken out of the fight?
