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.

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

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.

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"

The indoctrination system in USA is completely controlled by the MIC. Almost all of the R&D is funded for violence. This starts way before college. Probably every kid will be working for the military at some point. Drones are just the tip of the iceberg:

Zero surprise that OP is overt imperial propaganda.

Big difference.

Links to Radio Free Europe articles get posted way too often on Lemmy. It's just RT for the US government.
schrieb am 22. Juni 2025, 15:55 zuletzt editiert vonI don’t think that’s a completely fair comparison. They are both state tools for establishing power through narratives. They are both heavily biased.
But RT is Orwellian in that it just makes shit up and has no respect for even appearing credible. While RFE/RFL tends to be biased towards publishing pro-western stories, but they don’t tend to make shit up from scratch.
Of course, who knows what the fuck is happening there right now, my analysis is pre-Trump 2024.
