In Ukraine, drones have taken a considerable place in the fighting. Some are used for bombing, and others for intelligence and surveillance. The 8 Hours offers, Tuesday, June 14, an immersion alongside the Ukrainian forces.
They are Ukraine’s secret weapon. Drone pilots constantly monitor the Russian army, and give directions to Ukrainian soldiers on the front. “There is not one, but three armored vehicles, they turned right and continued to advance towards the forest”indicates by telephone Sokola Ukrainian soldier and drone pilot, to soldiers on the front lines.
Thanks to their drones, they follow the fighting live. On their screens, they watch a Ukrainian town being pounded by the Russian army, but also keep an eye on their soldiers. Remote monitoring that is not without danger: a missile has just fallen nearby. But nothing to worry them about. Despite their shadowy work in the Donbassthese soldiers did not prevent the advance, day after day, of the Russians in Sievierodonetsk.
