Drone Racing and Para Ice Hockey

But this is Russia so it's bad

It's interesting how what could be a positive article about young people learning new skills and disabled athletes enjoying playing ice hockey is not so subtly turned into anti-Russian propaganda.

Russian drones: The tiny, kamikaze killing machines being raced rather than used to hunt targets

The Kremlin has been quick when it comes to recognising drone racing's potential to boost Russia's military capabilities.

The article discusses the new sport of drone racing and disabled war veterans playing para ice hockey.

If this had been about UK kids learning advanced drone-flying skills and disabled UK veterans playing ice hockey, the messages would have been wholly positive - especially around poppy day in the UK.

Awww bless!

But this is about Russians, the 'untermenschen' in the Ukraine war, so it can't just be a straight report, it has to be agendised.

The article's messaging implies this is all about the Kremlin indoctrinating kids in 'war technology', disabled veterans not fighting 'voluntarily' for Russia in Ukraine and paying for it by having their legs blown off, and Russia being the only military in the world that 'hunts targets' with 'killing machines' (other than the USA, Israel and Ukraine for example).

This is really hitting a new low in anti-Russian propaganda.

Sky News should be ashamed.

Interesting?
