Ukrainian Drone Operator Proves Tactical Crocs Are The Real Warface
KEY POINTS
- â˘Dimko Zhluktenko, an ex-Ukrainian drone operator now analyst, shared his carefully chosen combat gear in a recent video.
- â˘His kit mixed state-issued and self-bought items, balancing lightness with necessity, including scissors, tactical Crocs, and a modified Soviet rifle.
- â˘To counter Russia's high-tech drones, he relied on fiber-optic cable cutting, drone detectors, and comfort gear like orthopedic boots.
Meet Dimko Zhluktenko, Ukraine's former drone operator turned analyst, packing a lethal arsenal that reads like tech geek meets camping enthusiast. His kit includes vintage Soviet guns âolder than meâ but pimped with Ukrainian grips, scissors for snipping the battlefield's annoying fiber-optic drone cables (yes, those exist), and âtactical Crocsâ from Ukraine's M-Tac because apparently, boots are just too mainstream. Despite juggling 10 kilograms of gear acquired from state funds, crowdfunding, and personal splurges, he still carries hand sanitizerâbecause war zones missed their daily COVID reminder. Oh, and a drone detector with antennae thatâs basically a hotspot for spotting enemies in the sky. Who knew being a high-tech drone sniper involved mutilating wires with scissors and formal shoe rebellions?

When your battlefield tools include old Soviet rifles, tactical Crocs, and scissors to cut Âfiber-optic cablesâyouâve officially lost the war on fashion and won the war on tech chaos.
Turns out, the fastest way to kill a state-of-the-art drone is with a pair of scissors and bad footwear choices. Fashion meets function, Ukrainian drone operator style.
Forget laser-guided missilesâa hardened drone operatorâs secret weapon is a mechanical compass, hand sanitizer, and tactical Crocs. War ainât evolved; itâs just confused.
