Patreon has shut down donations to a Ukrainian defense group. Wouldn't want them to use the money for any of those nasty violent weapons. Someone might get hurt.

Apparently not.
I saw where Ukrainian TV is broadcasting lessons in making Molotov cocktails, for citizens who want to destroy Russian tanks. It's amazing how quickly the mind is concentrated by the presence of an actual enemy.
IMNSHO, Molotov cocktails would be wasted on modern tanks and armored personnel carriers. They're better aimed at supporting infantry in the cities and at soldiers hitching rides on the armored vehicles.

Which, hopefully, they've learned from, as well as correcting other gaps not yet exploited.

E Hines, reports on Saturday morning are that some of the Molotov Cocktails have been working on the armored personnel carriers, at least well enough to force some Russian reconsideration of how best to use APCs. Granted, initial reports are often inaccurate, but it might be the psychological element as much as the actual damage. (Or someone left a hatch open, and someone else got a very lucky hit.)

Molotov cocktails are nice, but I'd like to see them get a big shipment of javelins.

And stingers. Even redeye which still can have some use against helicopters. Save these for the helicopter transports.
LR1, even against the WWII tanks that they were initially used on, they depended a lot on open hatches, open view slits for the driver. Sometimes someone would be able to climb onto the tank and drop one down an open hatch or open a hatch to drop, but those were rare. Modern tanks, maybe not so much. I'm surprised to hear their effect on modern APCs.
