mentioned the drones that you need for the front, that is, for the time being, these are foreign drones, malikasich are bought abroad and then volunteers or through some funds are sent to you to the front . i understand correctly , we are approaching here. powerful and serious industrial drones, without expecting this, we approached from the other side . that is, we adapted those drones that were created in china and in other countries in order to carry some entertainment content, that is, to shoot some landscapes from above there landscapes and so on, we adapt very actively for surveillance of the enemy and for our e-strike drones, we also use almost civilian models, because they are easier to adapt, they are sold as components in the same china, although well, here you see , a very strange situation arises that china supplies and we don't know about russia, which is probably the same as what we have because we can see how they are taking off and actively selling the same china saying to the whole world that they are a neutral country and are observing this conflict and very actively support th

cnn's nia-malika henderson is here, david chalian and jackie california cynic. good to say you all. i can hear you ringing in my ear. that's just the vibe. this is important. this is a national poll. it is a snapshot of the national mood. this is not how in america presidents are elected. presidents are elected state by state. so the feeling of voters in these key states matters more as we get closer to the election, but having an idea of what the national mood is very instructive. let's go a little bit deeper into this particularly as we were referring to katelyn polantz being outside the grand jury and trying to get a sense of what's going to happen there to look at the potential impact when it comes to the national sentiment. donald trump committed serious crimes. 51%, threatened democracy, 53%. >> a majority saying two things. donald trump committed serious crimes, a majority of registered voters saying he threatened democracy, and yet it's a tight race. not only is it effective, it's instructive, it's not irrelevant, it's also a national poll 15 months before an election. so th
