Drone Captures Sustained Harassments of Separatist Trench Line in Ukraine
Published 3 years ago
One of several Ukrainian drones captures the effects of sustained machine gun and recoilless rifle fire over the top of a Separatist trench line. As war continues to evolve, the use of civilian owned drones continues to grow at exponential rate.
For a long time, we have been saying that drones will change the face of war. We saw this first in Iraq and Afghanistan where military grade drones were used for surveillance of insurgent targets, and later armed with munitions that allowed them to destroy those targets without ever getting close to them.
Now, with the use of commercial and civilian owned drones, that style of warfare is becoming available to nation states and actors inside of them who wish to fight against the state.
This is six minutes of drone footage captured recently in Ukraine that shows the sustained suppression of a Separatist trench line. In real-time, commanders on the ground can now see in crystal clear 4k or HD footage the effectiveness of their unit's suppression.
