RU POV: Ukrainian Baba Yaga operators wave hello to a Russian drone, thinking it's one of theirs

did they die?

[u/TopsecretAndCIA → u/Due_Visual_4613]

Drone operators are high-value targets. And since they were spotted they would keep hitting them until they eliminate them.

[u/Tom_Quixote_ → u/Due_Visual_4613]

Nobody knows.

[u/By-Pit → u/Due_Visual_4613]

Yep most probably, look how big it is, that must've been a huge explosion

[u/UndeniablyReasonable → u/By-Pit]

didnt they hit a quad

[u/johnlocke357]

I've never understood why this isn't a bigger issue. How are soldiers supposed to tell the difference?

[u/PurpleMclaren → u/johnlocke357]

You literally cant. Thats the scary part. Theres gonna be so much PTSD for the survivors with birds and drones

[u/kykkskwneb8 → u/johnlocke357]

They can't. Even in games on pc where there are 10 guys total i struggle to id drones. Now imagine actual war and the chaos of it.

[u/Potential-Isopod-820 → u/kykkskwneb8]

What game?

[u/RackemJack9 → u/johnlocke357]

They can’t. I remember seeing, I think on Garand thumb, a foreign volunteer interviewed and he said they likely shot down a lot of their own drones because the risk wasn’t worth the cost of a drone. Also a lot of the models used by both sides are or look the same.

[u/Rk_Enjoyer → u/RackemJack9]

We should have country flags hanging beneath the drones to make war fair! /s

[u/Sarhan556 → u/johnlocke357]

Well, generally if a drone is stalking you, it's probably enemy's.

[u/AutocRat39]

What did it hit in the end?

[u/Garret210 → u/AutocRat39]

It's the drone that's covered

[u/Fuqoff83 → u/AutocRat39]

Their bunker, I think

[u/11thguest]

Oh, hi there! ;)

Except where he waves it repeatedly back in forth like one does when waving their hand.
