In the first 21 days of October, Magyar’s Birds neutralized 3,887 worms — an average of 185 a day, equivalent to wiping out two enemy assault companies daily. We set the rhythm in Donbas — knocking worms off their feet for one last dance. Watch VYO JAM: a fresh mix of our top hits to the beat of “chick chicky boom”. Wormito, the party’s over!

When we shared this interview with Commander Magyar from the Landeuro security conference (watch it if you haven’t), we received a flood of dismissive comments about the russian threat to Europe – and about the need to reconsider security doctrines, the very point Commander Magyar stressed. “Come on, russia can’t match NATO forces. A couple of days – we dominate the skies, wipe out their air defenses, and crush them in two weeks.” That’s what some wrote. These ideas are based on Hollywood clichés – about the Big War, about the tank fists heading toward the English Channel. And we genuinely hope that those responsible for defense take the threat seriously. Modern hybrid war bears little resemblance to blockbusters. It looks more like those few drones that crossed into the borders of Poland – our neighbor and ally – and NATO last night. Something unclear, but threatening. First – meetings and condemnations. Then, debates over whether these are russian drones or “strays.” Can we even officially call them russian? And if we can, what else can be said besides condemning? Next – arguments about whether to shoot them down, but no talk of Article 5 and “every inch of NATO territory.” These isolated drones have already entered Romania and Poland over the past year. Now they have “accidentally” reached the area of logistics hubs. And do you know what might come next? No tank fists, no breakthroughs. “Accidental, unknown” drones appear more frequently. Another communications cable gets cut. A few ammunition trucks explode “by accident” – probably because of faulty wiring. Strange armed groups take control of towns along the border of an EU country. Will anyone invoke Article 5? And then – suddenly – you are no longer in control of a piece of territory. 2, 3, 5 percent. Endless meetings – the strength of democracy, and at the same time its weakness when facing dictatorships. How would Article 5 work against a nuclear state? Maybe these are your “internal separatists.” Send in the army or the national guard. The troops move into the troubled area. Then, from the forests around them, unidentified FPVs swarm out. Article 5? We are not sure. Suddenly, this is presented as a “people’s republic” defending its interests and right to self-determination. Behind territorial issues, behind the minor cuts on the bodies of small countries, come political destabilizations. russia is very skilled at this. First – cracks between EU and NATO members, then cracks within the states themselves. This is creeping, hybrid aggression – corrosion of security that eats away at states through small cuts, provocations, and humiliations on the international stage. When people no longer trust their government and stop believing it can protect them. The russian doctrine of “liminal war” involves testing the opponent with operations “below the threshold” – actions where it’s unclear how or whether to respond. The threshold gradually rises until the opponent finally reacts, but by then, the operation is already finished and its goals have been met. We Ukrainians know how to handle such situations. Are you sure you’ll have enough time to learn before the corrosion reaches you?
