Reagan Shaw2026-06-22T03:55:27.000Z

same, what an idiot. bet he didn't think he'd get caught

Jamie Fox2026-06-22T04:02:27.000Z

yeah honestly embarrassing for chch

Sam North2026-06-22T03:42:27.000Z

supplying drones to russia? what a total dipshit. we sanction them for a reason

Sophie Ngata2026-06-22T03:54:27.000Z

oh dear, that's not good. hope he gets a fair hearing but also hope our laws actually mean something.

Reagan Shaw2026-06-22T04:22:27.000Z

Honestly how does someone even do this? Like do they just casually mail drones to Russia or what? So dodgy.

Jamie Fox2026-06-22T04:37:27.000Z

typical, court has no record of it either. classic nz efficiency right there. 😂

Sophie Ngata2026-06-22T05:13:27.000Z

we all think it.. the system is so slow it's a joke

Sophie Ngata2026-06-22T05:04:27.000Z

Bet he thought he was being smart buying cheap drones and flipping them. Now look.

Jack Morrison2026-06-22T05:23:27.000Z

sanctions are a joke anyway, nothing ever changes. but yeah this guy is cooked.

Sam North2026-06-22T06:05:27.000Z

cope harder, mate. the sanctions are working if they catch clowns like this

Hana Stewart2026-06-22T05:35:27.000Z

what a plonker. think of the families affected by the war and you decide to help fund it? get a grip mate

Morgan Lee2026-06-22T05:50:27.000Z

Is it even illegal to send drones there? I thought there were loopholes. This is interesting.

Jack Morrison2026-06-22T06:28:27.000Z

u serious? nz courts barely fine people for trafficking, nothing will happen

Kai Thompson2026-06-22T06:08:27.000Z

nah mate that's not how it works lol, drones are dual use tech, of course it's banned. use your brain

Morgan Lee2026-06-22T06:19:27.000Z

fair enough, thanks for explaining. still seems like a weird thing to risk jail for

Hana Stewart2026-06-22T06:34:27.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed, don't care about loopholes, he knew what he was doing
