Not only drones but also Google Meet: what technologies are actively using the Armed Forces on the front

One of the missions is the attack of Russian equipment with the help of modified drones, which throw ammunition on tanks, BMD, BMP and others. The unit is also engaged in intelligence. Working in 24/7 mode from the command center and from the point of view, drone operators help to define goals for Ukrainian artillery and then adjust the fire. Drone operators choose weapons based on their tasks.

For night observation, Seneca is used by a large DJI Matrice 30T - a drone worth $ 13,000, equipped with a quality thermal imaging chamber. For basic observation, the DJI Mavic Quadcopter capacity is enough worth $ 2,000, which usually flies within a kilometer or two of the Russians. Valkyria UAVs of Ukrainian production, which can stay in the air for longer and fly further than a typical DJI quadcopter.

Bad weather conditions such as snow or rain can cause short circuits in drones, and a picture of their cameras will be poor, but drones are incredibly effective. The UAV operator with the call sign "Student" told reporters that about 600 Russian soldiers were killed in the period from August to December as a result of his drones. Another employee with the call sign "Blockchain" stated that the military was exchange data among themselves, which helps them to act promptly.

According to him, they can stay in touch thanks to messengers like Google Meet or Zoom, the media reports. With regard to drone management, such as DJI, it is carried out through smartphones or tablets. They act as controllers - you only need to download the desired software. If the device works on Android, the material removed can easily be sent through Google Meet. Ukrainian artillerymen, having gone on exile-invitation, can track how accurate their shots were, having a picture from a drone.

"Blockchain" states that in the event of any problems, it simply forms a new reference, and artillerymen are moving on it. He believes that Google tools are securely protected from hackers and breakage attacks. "Good luck with Google. Some drones, such as DJI Matrice 30T, do not allow you to transmit information with Android devices. In this case, the operators have to contact Zoom, which is "far from the ideal", according to "blockchain".

SpaceX stated on February 9 that the use of the Ukrainian military Starlink for the purpose of conducting offensive operations will be restricted. Five days later, Seneca reported that there were really problems with communication, but for a long time and now everything works in full -time mode. According to Todd Hamfris from Texas University in Austin, it is theoretically possible to suppress the satellite signals of the Starlink group.

The expert says each terminal Starlink uses GPS internal receiver to choose which satellites will transmit the signals sent to them, so Russia's attempts to suppress GPS signals can disrupt Starlink. In March, Starlink engineers were able to cope with the attack of the Russian remedy, updating the code, reminded the publication. Other problems are more prosaic. Before going to the front line on the morning of February 14, the unit had to find the terminal whose work was paid.

The service costs 75 a month, and sometimes it is paid for by volunteers, volunteers, sacrifices from their pockets, according to the article. Of course, the soldiers of the Seneca unit. According to "Gray", a 24-year-old soldier who leads video streams, in the conditions of round-the-clock fighting, every minute is devoted to operations, analysis and training. "We have no problem with motivation," Swan said, a former journalist who moved from illumination of war to direct participation in it.
