Nice that some of the military burden can be shored up by women at least. Despite the impressive k/d ratio, Ukraine is having trouble with supplying military-aged men to the armed forces. Russia is a lot bigger, and willing to resort to much nastier tactics to feed the grind with men.
Well yeah, it's picture day! Like when you work from home you probably don't wear pants but you'd probably put on pants if you had to go in to the office.
Gotta mog the Russians in style ✨
Edit: but in all seriousness, it's a good war tactic to look really nice as a soldier while the other side has to rely on mules and fake helmets. Especially against a machoist culture like Russia. Imagine getting conscripted after finding out solders are getting literally slayed by a diva who looks pristine and you were raised in a culture where women are shown to be dainty and unfit for war (ironically this would have been less effective propaganda against early Soviet Union culture).
It's similar to when the US Navy, while fighting Japan, made Ice Cream.

Was going to say “Tankies gonna gang up on Wikipedia now,” until I remembered: they already dismiss Wikipedia as imperialist propaganda.

They do call it NATOpedia. Given that there is a userbox about tankies, they must have edited it enough to cause a reaction too though.

That edition of Did you know is likely to be permanently archived here tomorrow.

Yet you will find no shortage of men claiming women are unfit for the military.

Female drone operators with pouting lips and salon hair no less

Always preferable to men who put little to no effort into their hygiene and appearance and think they can comment on women's.

They made icecream?

The US had ice cream barges in the Pacific to produce fresh ice cream for troops.

Yes, using churns and airplanes that flew high latitude.
It really demoralized some Japanese fighters, since they were so low on resources by contrast.

Should they only hire ugly operators?
