💔Heavy footage that vividly demonstrates how war is changing. Now the intensity of combat actions can be determined not so much by destroyed buildings, but by the amount of optical fibre.

Pilots of the reconnaissance company of the 63rd Brigade showed what Lyman looks like now. The city is holding on, but is gradually being covered by this “cobweb”. Every day hundreds of enemy and our “birds” fly here – and each one leaves its mark🥺

    You just seamlessly switched from plastic straws specifically to all microplastics from all sources.

    No, you threw out a concentrated localized source of microplastics by saying, “Its just straws.” That village is covered in thousands of miles of fiber. Most plastic, some glass.

    How much do plastic straws contribute to microplastics?

    So if I shredded pounds of plastic and a little fiber glass and sprinkle it from the air on your house it doesn’t matter because straws?

    GTFO. You’d be the first person crying to the government about how your lawn is ruined.

    We’re talking about a village covered in fiber optics.

    If that’s glass fibers in that nest, the baby birds will be dead.

      Are you forgetting that this is an active war zone? The whole reason those fibers are there is because flying bombs are using them for guidance. Having to sweep up some sparkly fiber is a trivial distraction from far more important issues.

      Exactly as I keep pointing out.
