The battle between Ukraine and Russia has long come down to drone warfare, but now, drone warfare is even replacing highly-trained snipers on the battlefield, as proven by Ukrainian special forces soldier Vyacheslav Kovalsky.
“I used to be the sniper and everyone danced around me. Now everyone dances around the drone pilot, including me,” Kovalsky told the Wall Street Journal, as cited by Mandiner:
Kovalsky is known for his world-record shot back in 2023, when he shot a Russian officer from a distance of almost four kilometers. However, nowadays, he mainly assists drone operators.
