Soldiers have learned to fear the ominous buzz of the drone’s propellers overhead, as this often indicates they have either been spotted or are about to be attacked.

The increased use of drones in the war has forced heavy machinery such as tanks to move several kilometres further back from the front line, according to Ukrainian soldiers. Infantrymen, meanwhile, cite FPVs and drones that drop munitions as their biggest threat and say there are now so many in the air that it’s difficult to move to and from trenches or reinforce dugouts.
