Ukrainian Woman Who ‘Downed Drone With Jar Of Tomatoes’ Is Staying To Fight For Her Country
A Ukrainian woman who took out a Russian drone by throwing a jar of tomatoes at it has said she plans to stay in Kyiv and fight.
Amid countless tales of bravery and courage emerging from the country Ukrainians were amused by one tale of resistance against Russian troops in particular, after a government advisor claimed that a woman had knocked a Russian drone out of the sky 'with a jar of cucumbers'.
In the following days Ukrainian news site Liga.net managed to track down the woman responsible for the simple act of heroism, who confirmed that the story was real, but with one important correction.
"It was tomatoes," the woman, named Olena, told the site.
"I don't know where all those fables about cucumbers came from."
Olena said that she'd been sitting smoking on the balcony of her Kyiv apartment when she 'saw something floating' and 'heard a buzzing' nearby.
Rather than rush into the house to find something suitable to throw, she grabbed the closest thing to her - a jar of tomatoes.
"Probably out of fear. Because I was scared. And what if they start firing at me from there! What a pity for those tomatoes… I don't know where the fables about cucumbers came from," she said.
It worked, and the drone was destroyed, leaving Olena and her husband to break the device into several pieces by stamping on it, before scattering the fragments in various bins around the area.
Coupla things:
- You can't win against people who're willing to fight drones with pickles
- Don't fuck with Baba - it's not going to end well for you
