Drone Hound Hunts Prey in its Burrow
Published 1 week ago
Like a hunting hound or a terrier following a rat into its hole, a Ukrainian drone observes that its quarry has gone to ground and pursues it in its burrow. The Russian soldier spies a potential refuge and sheds his gear so that he can squirm into a basement window. The drone operator skillfully bounces a drone-dropped munition into the opening, and while there is no proof that the soldier died, the explosion was definitely not good for his health. The video demonstrates how drones have altered battlefield geometry. Forms of cover which previously served as protection from indirect or direct fire systems can now be circumvented by drones, resulting in an increasingly lethal environment for the common grunt.
