On #NAFOday, we present a special big #SquaDrone thread, featuring all the team drones. We'll start with a jab from one of Ukraine's greatest boxers, bought by The Drone Team 2 (we're not sure who fellas had in mind — @Vitaliy_Klychko, @Klitschko, or both)

Big bada boom is so 1997.
Badda jagga bonk is much trendier, although the point is pretty much the same.

This amazing Millenium Falcon comes courtesy of Flight Lieutenant @AurelliaStrass and #NAFOJediforces. Unlike the original, the only things this ship smuggles are explosives for russian invaders. Much like the original one, however, it will serve the light side.

Following the #StarWars subject, here's a Wookie-themed UAV. As Han Solo once said, it's not wise to upset a Wookie. This one's already upset. And now it will return the favor. #NAFO#SquaDrone

While we're at it, here's a tip on how to properly upset a tankie: 1. Ask them any uncomfortable question about soviet history (so, any question…) 2. Watch them have a tantrum 3. If on your land, instead of pointless arguments, launch an FPI drone from above

Now, back to #StarWars.
We once stated that the #Fellas are modern day Ewoks (sort of) — they look friendly, but, much like Wookies, you don't want to upset them. In large numbers, they can work miracles, such as these
Ewok Attack Squadrones. #NAFOfellas#SquaDrone

In the New Testament, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are conquest, war, famine, and death.
Our Four Drone Riders of the Rage-pocalypse are much nicer, although, it's a matter of perspective. They will bring the same amount of wrath upon unsolicited visitors.
8/11
We remember the times when zombies were just a concept in music videos. Now, brainwashed
z-creatures are on our land, but
They hear a buzzing sound before they make it
They start to freeze
As camera looks them right between the eyes
They're paralyzed
Cause this is Thriller

The second name sounds a bit more intimidating. More real. As if making a promise that it'll actually transcend social media, and fly away to the battlefield. That's exactly what's gonna happen.
We megalike it. #NAFO#SquaDrone
11/11
We want to finish off the #SquaDrone thread on a wholesome, soup-centric, note. May this drone become a gift, as pleasant as hot borscht on the tables of our defenders, and a nightmare, as devastating as hot borscht spilled on the nether regions of invaders

Anastasia Trofimova and the majority of russians wouldn’t see their compatriots’ crimes if we shoved the evidence in their faces. It doesn’t mean we shouldn’t, however.
Don’t listen to russians. Silence their propaganda with facts. Don’t let it spread with impunity.

russian terror won’t stop by itself.
But there is a way you can help protect Ukraine, and save our people — by calling your representatives to supply more #PatriotsForUkraine.
@United24media made a step-by-step guide on how to do this. Use and share it, please

Our donor @Barnett_556 from Malvern🇺🇸got his first tattoo — in honor of Ukraine and his childhood hero @MarkHamill — the Rebel Alliance's Starbird in blue and yellow🇺🇦
But it all started much earlier, when Mark became a U24 ambassador.
🧵1/4👇
2/4 Under the initial announcement post, we received an unusual request from @MontayBayBay: if Mark becomes a NAFO fella, Barnett will get his first tattoo at age 52 to mark the occasion.
3 /4
At the time, Mark was already supporting Ukraine, and a few hours later he received his first #NAFO avatar (but not the last😉).
Hot Ukrainian borsch is a perfect dish for a cold winter day.
@KatherynWinnick
cooks borsch according to her mother's recipe. Our ambassador is proud of her Ukrainian roots and preserves her family's traditions🇺🇦
We want to share this recipe with you👇

We’re launching a fundraiser to build bomb shelters in 3 schools so that 2,283 children in Ukraine could continue their education.
Join in and get a chance to win one of 10 carol stars:

905 pupils from the age of 6, who travel from 5 neighboring villages, study at the Tatarbunary Lyceum in Odesa Oblast. It has a small shelter; during an air alert, some children are forced to walk 7 minutes to a nearby bomb shelter and sit in a cold, damp room for several hours.
The shelter in the Bolhrad school in Odesa Oblast is too small to fit everyone, so older pupils have to walk 10 minutes to the bomb shelter in the House of Culture. With missile threats and drone attacks, every minute in the open is a life-threatening situation.
23-year-old Mykola lives in Arkhanhelske, Kherson Oblast. In March, he helped sappers demine his native region. Together with his friends, they partook in detecting explosive devices, which russians left behind when they fled.
🧵
"That day, my friend and I were making a detour around the Ivanivka village on tractors. I hit an anti-tank mine and it exploded"
Mykola received shrapnel wounds and a broken leg. He was taken to the hospital, where doctors gave him first aid, and then was transported for surgery
Doctors operated on him for 3 hours, using a C-arm X-ray machine which had been purchased with donations from U24 donors. Thanks to it, the surgeons managed to literally put Mykola's leg back together, piece by piece.
