My interview with Sean Francis, from the _civilian_ volunteer anti-air unit that I supported with a donated training simulator. He explains how he, a former American marine, ended up doing real estate in Kyiv, and volunteering his time to do anti-air defense as a civilian.
I also filmed Sean explaining how the gun and simulator worked, and the unit trying it out for the first time. I got a chance to try it to, and managed to down a simulated shahed. 😂 Working on editing that footage.
Most of the ~$6k cost came from the $LADA memecoin community; some of it came from Bitcoin donations. Thank you to those who donated!
