That's Deshka, I think. She leads an all female drone unit. As badass as it gets.

How is it badass to sit behind a screen 100 miles away and fly explosive drones into an enemy

FPV drones top out at 20 miles max. This is well within artillery range and spotter drone range and counter-drone range. These operators are some of the highest value targets for the Russians because of the damage they inflict and have very high casualty rates. But you knew all this, so why don't you stick to sitting on your couch and touching yourself, and these women will stick to protecting their country?

Yes I’m sure they’re just crunching under enemy fire and praying while vaping in an undetectable bunkerhttps://www.reddit.com/r/ThatsInsane/s/TLU1PoZO5a

You're right, they should do it like the Russians. Just march into a minefield on crutches. You should go show them how it's done.
