"Closer to the enemy": drones were ordered to work near the collision line - military

According to the military, the order to approach the direct line of contact came from the command. There are cases that UAV operators by sudden become a "first line" or get into the environment altogether. In some sections of the front of Ukrainian operators, drones are sent to manage the "birds" closer to the line of collision. The military under the nickname Lucky Soldier informed about such cases on the social network.

According to him, the command requires the replacement of drones closer to the enemy, because, according to the commanders, thus will increase the "efficiency coefficient". But to shift closer is to actually go into some ravine, where it is impossible to work fully. In addition, there may be tall trees or high -rise buildings that will close the inspection.

Otherwise, the drone operator will be open to the enemy, which is why the enemy can "cover" the operator himself, destroy the property and then, notes the fighter, "work will become". Instead, the warrior notes, the command can order to take a position of up to a kilometer from the enemy. "Because the commander knows better how and where do you fly," Lucky Soldier writes. He also stated that there are cases that UAV operators suddenly become a "first line" or get into the environment altogether.

The situation was commented by the blogger, volunteer Sergey Sternenko, who systematically transmits drones to the Ukrainian units. "A brilliant solution. Why do we have drones in general?" He writes. He also added that the decision to move drones as close as possible to the line of combat collision was made at a high level and was "launched" as a mandatory brigades. According to the order, all shock drones must move up to 1.

5 km to the line of combat collision, although there are areas, said Sergey Sternenko, where only the "gray zone" reaches 3-5, or even more kilometers. "This solution will lead to one result - our drors will die more often," the volunteer states. Ukrainian shock drone operators cause very large losses to the enemy, so the Russians do not spare rockets or Kaba.
