The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are captured by drones: what can be caused by a new tactic of Ukraine - Forbes

"Contactless surrender" can save life to the military in a hopeless situation and makes the process of being captured safer. The forces of Ukraine began to systematically capture the military personnel of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, using drones, sometimes equipped with dynamics and microphone. The prospects of this approach are referred to in Forbes. During the war in Ukraine, several cases have already been recorded when the Russian military was captured by drones.

Mavic -type quadcopters that can hang at low altitude allow operators to see a person on Earth, their weapons, and fix their desire to give up. Previously, these were some spontaneous cases, now it looks like an organized campaign with "contactless capitulation". In addition to direct contact with those who want to surrender, UAVs also dismiss cards calling for capitulation along the front line.

A similar method was used in 1870 during the siege of Paris, but then the notes were dropped from balloons. Modern postcards can be a QR code with contacts for safe delivery. For Russian soldiers in Ukraine there is a hotline "I want to live", which receives more than 200 appeals a day. Recently, Ukrainians demonstrated another unexpected way of using UAV when the operator suggested that the Russian military be captured through a speaker attached to the drone.

According to the author of the publication, this video shows that Ukrainians use UAVs to capture the Russians, without waiting for the enemy to communicate. Drone with dynamics can not only fly over the front line, but also establish a bilateral connection with anyone who wants to accept the proposal. According to the publication, previously drones were associated with brutal nearby battles, but these cases show that drones can make future wars more humane.

It is risky in the melee of the enemy is risky. An example is a video where the Russian soldier shouted, which seems and then threw a grenade from the Ukrainians. UAVs solve this problem - the drone can bring the soldier to the right place, order him to throw a weapon and lie on the ground. "Fear on both sides can be the biggest obstacle to surrender, and drones can soften it," the author emphasized.

The article states that the constant presence in the sky of hostile UAVs can have a powerful psychological effect on soldiers. There are more and more videos on which the Russian military shoots at their FPV-ou. However, if during the artillery shelling, a soldier cannot seem, even if he is aware of the hopelessness of the situation, he can wave the white flag or raise his hands during the attack of the FPV-aroma, knowing that the operator will notice this gesture.

The authors of the material also mentioned the capture of a large number of soldiers of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the Kursk region. Some of them seemed large groups. Among them are border guards or other second -line troops that were not ready for real battle. The number of such cases will probably grow, and UAVs will help to facilitate the process of their surrender.

The publication believes that the next stage will be the appearance of UAVs or terrestrial work, which conducts a detailed inspection of the prisoner for the presence of a weapon with the help of a metal detector. The drones may even be able to bind the prisoners or other fixing agents. "Future wars may resemble post-apocalyptic films where soldiers hide under the wreckage of burned cars, waiting for death, while drones are buzzing over their heads.

But when a drone operator can tell the goals that they are driven into an angle and they can get better now, a 21st century conflict can be much more civilized and less bloody, " - summed up in the publication. We will remind, in April a serviceman of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation surrendered, not withstanding massive blows of Ukrainian drones. The Armed Forces then attacked the Russian position, dropping UAV grenades, after which the drones of Kamikadze were attracted.
