Drone operators of the Armed Forces became a priority target for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation: fighters told details

To spread: Russia's armed forces are increasingly aiming at Ukrainian drone operators, marking them as the main threat and "Number One purpose". This emphasizes the tremendous impact of these frames on the course of hostilities. According to Ukrainian fighters, the enemy uses a large arsenal of defeat, including rockets, bombs and artillery, to strike at the likely positions of operators. This is stated in Business Insider.

Ukrainian drones today perform a wide range of tasks: from intelligence and adjustment of artillery to strikes of armored vehicles. Particularly effective were drones-Kamikadze, which at the expense of low cost can destroy expensive goals. So inexpensive quadcopter in a few hundred dollars can disable a tank or a BMP worth a millions. Moreover, according to recent estimates, the actions of drones in battles account for up to 70% of the loss of both parties in the war.

In this context, it becomes clear why the priority of the enemy UAV operators of the defense forces. The Armed Forces officer and former deputy battalion commander of the 3rd assault brigade Artem noted that at the beginning of a full-scale war, operators rarely became a target. However, now the enemy's activity has increased significantly. According to him, the pilots become more experienced, the value of their neutralization for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation becomes higher.

Of course, in such a situation, Ukrainian operators of unmanned systems take additional measures - more often work with stronger storage, deep basements, and also often change the location, without staying in one place. For his part, Senior Researcher at the British Analytical Center Rusi Justin Bronk emphasized in his August report that the losses among Ukrainian drone operators increased rapidly in the spring and summer of this year.

This indicates that the hunting of Dronovodes has become one of the new priorities of the Russian army, which confirms the crucial importance of unmanned technologies in the modern war. We will remind, as reported in the Defense Blog, on the Ukrainian front the use of drones has increased with an unprecedented pace, but accordingly increased the scale of the use of HRS. In this regard, the issue of introducing new UAVs into battle - inexpensive and reliable.
