Finally something useful if it passes for Ukraine.

Good idea. Don't botch it up if Putin tells BOO again.

I dont see the difference between providing Ukraine with ground arms that kill Russian soldiers and providing Ukraine with airborne arms that kill Russian soldiers, so I think Biden should pass it.

(Not that he'd be taking advice from some internet nobody like me but that's my $0.02)

In my opinion.

It's not the first useful thing sent to Ukraine.
FGM-148 Javelin - Wikipedia
But I approve of anything that kills invading Russians without triggering WW3.

Not just that, tank killers as well.

If anything, it's surgical munitions and hopefully will help reduce collateral damage and death.

same here, what is the difference of a drone or a plane? They are both targeting Russia/Russians. Just one is bigger than the other...drones are very deadly and can cause serious harm. Why those instead of planes

Planes might be seen by Putin as more than just supplying
materiel to Ukraine, ie, active engagement by NATO against
Russia. Drones are just small weapons.
It's all about managing Putin's emotional reaction.

Mostly because there is no pilots risking their lives in the craft.

It's a sign I think where automation and AI including machine learning will take center stage. Warfare with AI will become a standard and arguably will one day be far more dangerous than nukes.

I mean if they won't join in the war physically by gettin Russia mad at them for suppplyin Ukraine with planes - ...it's the same thing with the drones...doesn't make sense.

It does when your target is enemy personal and not your own.
