FPV drones have become a common tool of warfare during the conflict in Ukraine. They aid in surveillance, identify targets and potential threats, and pose a danger themselves. Drones equipped with explosive charges play a crucial role in destroying targets. Their influence in modern armed conflicts is set to increase.

This was demonstrated by another two Russian soldiers, who opted to hide under two destroyed tanks. The footage of this incident recently circulated on social media, drawing attention to an unexpected detail.

When the drone struck, igniting a small fire, two soldiers emerged from beneath the wrecked vehicle. The first struggled to exit, clearly dazed by the attack or injured. His comrade, in his haste, overlooked pulling up his trousers and underwear. The video can be viewed below.

The Ukrainians persisted. They launched a second attack, which likely neutralised both adversaries. Netizen speculation mainly revolved around the soldiers' activities under the tank. It's a mystery that will probably remain unsolved, and perhaps that's for the best.

Recordings from the war in Ukraine

The conflict in Ukraine is perhaps the first military engagement that is viewable almost live, thanks to cutting-edge technology. Footage of operations like the one described is uploaded daily on the internet. Drones with cameras capture and immediately share the outcomes of their strikes.

Unfortunately, despite many such notable actions, the situation on the front remains challenging for Ukraine. After the Russian control of Avdiivka, there's speculation that Vladimir Putin's forces may target Kupiansk and Kharkiv and possibly attempt to sever Ukraine's access to the Black Sea.
