Drone warfare has changed the rules of engagement
Down in a bunker a little way back from the Ukraine frontline, I am watching a key event in modern warfare: a drone attack in real time.
The command centre is a small room with three TV monitors, two of which are divided into four screens. All are showing drone footage from different parts of the front’s 20 kilometres of trenches. Four men sit in front of the screens. Two men sit off at the side — one on a laptop, one manning a two-way radio. In the centre of the room stands Bereza, the Brigade commander, barking into his phone.
#Ukraine: In the vicinity of Kurdyumivka, #Donetsk Oblast, a Russian T-90M tank was damaged and abandoned after being hit by a loitering munition and then a drone-dropped RGT-27S2 thermobaric grenade of the Ukrainian 28th Mechanised Brigade. pic.twitter.com/Glit8ocuYi
