WAR: Crowdfunding as a supply

War, that's something for states. So the state also finances it. That's the traditional thinking, which is not entirely wrong. But there is more. There have always been soldiers who have improved their equipment themselves. And in modern conflicts, civil societies also help – among other things with modern crowdfunding. We already know this from Ukraine, where a lot was donated for various units, but here we have Russian images. In Russia too, collections are made and donations are made to troops. It's exciting what all...

In the cover image, drones are included - popular on both sides - but there are also other items: here, for example, a wind meter from Kestrel, always interesting for snipers. And food packages to improve rations.

Sometimes it seems like a hardware store has been plundered, cables, shovels, canisters are desired items.

But it also gets more basic: the home country sends suppressors to its soldiers...

With certain things, you already think your thoughts: donations to the Russian helicopter squadron.

When you have such an aircraft and have to ask for donations for the stuff in front.

And even the pilots are happy to receive Chinese radios and greet the homeland from the mission with thank-you pictures. Which looks really bizarre.
