Russia will soon teach high school students how to build and fly drones, which have become a key weapon in the war between Moscow and Kyiv.
“Right now, there’s a huge demand from both the state and society for unmanned aerial systems,” said Mikhail Lutskiy, head of educational projects at Geoscan Group, the leading drone manufacturer in Russia.
Russia last year launched a nationwide project called Unmanned Aerial Systems to promote both the domestic production of drones and preparation of drone pilots and other specialists starting with high school students.

Careful, if you start teaching too much, some bored kid is gonna attach some “fireworks” and fly it into the Kremlin. 😏
Unfortunately that’s useless, the people needing to be hit are all kinda distributed over all of Russia, and the punishment is severe.
But teaching children to build tools for modern war is an absolute positive. Possessing an AK is no good for a revolution today anyway, while with small drones you can do a lot.
Positively dystopian.
Radio Free Europe is literally US propaganda. This is like thinking the National Enquirer is “News You Can Trust”

Seems to remind me of Hitler Youth for some reason… 🤷♂️
🤡 🖕 💩
Thats what soviets did too. There were classes for gun assembly and shooting practice and its not a new thing.
I don’t think military skill prep is a bad thing for small countries but coming from current ruzi administration is certainly is a bit on the nose. As in “training kids to terrorize country they invaded with semi-autonomous remote weapons” just doesn’t ring the same as “military prep in case of invasion”
Teaching kids war is good in any case. Teaching kids that war is good is bad.
Yeah tbh I agree with you. These lessons should be left for adults no matter how you look at this issue.
Gave me brave brew world vibes since they are essentially raising them up to be the foot soldier class. It would be even easier to draft them
Child soldiers are not Brave New World. More like shit old world.
Reminds me of this trailer I came across the other day.
Links to Radio Free Europe articles get posted way too often on Lemmy. It’s just RT for the US government.
It really is not cause nothing is as blatant as ruzi media
Propaganda is propaganda.
All bad things are equally bad?
Surely there are better sources of information than the Donald Trump administration’s state media. Unless they think DOGE installed sycophants everywhere but there.
When American kids enter the fight expect the coolest under fire mother fucking soldiers you ever seen
An entire generation of kids raised in a war zone of school shootings
They’re already trained
What a tasteless take.
It’s bitter, not tasteless.
lmao yeah)
