MacBook saved the life of a soldier of the Armed Forces: the laptop stopped a piece of enemy shell

Rescue incident on the battlefield

According to Главком: In the war, there was a rescue incident involving a soldier whose life was saved by a MacBook laptop that took the hit from enemy artillery. A fragment of the enemy shell hit the soldier's MacBook, but the laptop acted as a shield and preserved the soldier's life. This incident highlights not only the importance of technology on the battlefield but also the random circumstances that can be critical in critical situations.

The position of the serviceman

Serviceman of the Armed Forces Ihor Lutsenko, who is a former people's deputy, believes that such cases show how important it is to ensure proper conditions for the defenders of Ukraine. Despite the fact that the laptop withstood mechanical damage, the issue of monetary provision for servicemen remains relevant.

• In 2026, about 1.27 trillion UAH is planned for the monetary provision of servicemen of the Armed Forces.
• The state budget does not foresee an increase in the basic monetary provision for servicemen.

Ihor Lutsenko: 'This decision is immoral and highlights that the problem is not only in finances.'

Lutsenko also notes that an increase in the monetary provision for Ukrainian defenders in 2026 is only possible under the condition of redistributing part of the funds from the civilian sector. This incident with the MacBook reminded us of the importance of not only technical means but also support for the military at the state level.

This case serves as a reminder of the critical need to provide servicemen not only with technical means but also with financial support. Despite the fact that technology can save lives, stable monetary provision is an important factor affecting the morale and readiness of the military to fulfill their duties. In light of these events, the issue of financing and supporting Ukrainian defenders becomes even more relevant, considering that state resources can be redistributed to improve their welfare.
