Russian is not simple, it has just as many, if not more grammar rules than English. |

One of the most fun things over the years has been to take simple units and do interesting things with them. For example, the FQM-117B is a great little platform. It's almost all foam. You can modify it really easily. I've made a bunch of them for different projects. The look a lot like Mig27s. Here's one a guy did up in the RC forums: https://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=23236&stc=1&thumb=1&d=1494281696 In the Ukrainian case, they could make an electric version with a COTS Pixhawk autopilot, load it up with 5-6lbs of HE payload and have a great weapon. Or, they could load it up with 10lbs of supplies for the folks stuck in Mariupol and land/crash them in a spot to retrieve the supplies. You could send one or two every night when you don't care about getting them back. Last I heard, the Army and Marines still had a bunch of them in their inventory. With a little advisory help, those guys over there are smart enough put together a fleet of them in no time. View Quote That would be a great way to get antibiotics and medication to them. |

English suffers as a mix up of multiple root languages. I fly. You fly. We fly. But not "He fly." Californians often will apply consistency to highway nouns, names and numbers, Take the freeway. Take the I(Interstate) 5. Take the Golden State Freeway. But most others will simply say, "Take 5 south."

You can actually say a lot more with less words and I still struggle to keep up. English can be just as confusing for a Ukrainian or Russian speaker to learn. My language teacher here still struggles with saying things like an American would. Many words and meanings are lost in translation both ways. |
