That will only happen if Russia accepts responsibility for it's actions and apologises which will likely never happen (your talking about a nation made up of people who think the whole Slavic world belongs to Russia). For that to happen you would need Russia to be completely conquered and occupied like German was at the end of WW2.
Ah, the well known moral stance of "the bad guys are doing something immoral, so I can do it then it becomes moral".
As a few have mentioned, it's got a 3-5kg payload and, to put that into context, thats the equivalent of a single 81MM HE Mortar round (4kg) with a shrapnel "kill" radius of over 35m - so yeah, 3-5kg is a hell of a payload equivalent to drop on something unarmoured like a plane or lightly armoured like a SAM site radar/launcher/CP.
Also, depending on the type of payload they choose, that weight range could also cover a large shaped charge warhead - say an PG-7VR type from an RPG-7 (able to punch through 750mm of armour) - which would be able to take out every type of modern tank too when dropped from above meaning no vehicle would be safe for it.
So definitely less of a distraction and yet another "oh crap, how do we defend against this??????" moment for Russia to add to the growing list. The weakness, as with all these drones, is the requirement for them to send/receive signals for aiming and its there that the Russians and the EW jamming vehicles have their only advantage.
As Rroff mentioned, the poster was referring to there only being 1 Tico CG attached to this carrier group rather than the number of Ticos in total, and that the rest of the carrier group contained Flight 2 Arleigh Burkes which is the DDG they mentioned. Hope that clears up any confusion.
Relative to the destruction of the entire country? Some times a lesser evil is necessary to stall a greater one.
Wonder how long it'll be before Wagner no longer exists. Looks like the writing is on the wall already.
They will not forgive.

More than a couple I suspect.
Whilst its most definitely going to take a long time for these wounds to heal, eventually forgiveness may be possible. They most definitely wont forget though.
Considering how much pain Germany caused in the first half of last century, they are generally well respected these days.

You're entitled to your opinion, however it's factually incorrect. This isn't the first time a European nation has gone on a rampage, hell it's not even the first time in the last century. They will be friends again one day, however it won't come until the majority of Ukrainian have no memory of today.
Seeing reports that some NATO commanders are growing frustrated that Ukraine aren't paying much attention to their recommendations/advice RE the counteroffensive.
Lol, if Ukraine had followed their advice and abandoned Bakhmut then their counteroffensive would currently be stalled against a well dug in Wagner force backed up by masses of Russian reserves with plenty of ammo supplied by Prigozhin's best buddy Vlad.
The NATO advisers have been pretty much consistently wrong since day one, they need to learn to just provide weapons and shut up, when Ukraine need to hear from people with experience in bombing mud huts they can ask for it xD

I think Ukraine have the knowledge now to far surpass NATO calling the shots, they have incredible amount of experience anyway that will shape wars for years to come.
Like Poland have forgiven Russia?
Forgiveness takes time.
My grandad fought in both WW1 and WW2. He hated Germans, wouldn't speak to them.
His son (my dad) didn't really like Germany, would never choose to go on holiday there, but would take a German individual at face value as long as they were young enough not to have fought.
Me, no problems with Germany at all. Spent time there working, had some great experiences.
It takes time.

Absolute stupidity, every single one of us in 39 said it was a massive mistake, they were sure they could integrate depth fire with guns, boy were they wrong
