Cameras placed on the body of soldiers, weapons, tanks, cell phones or drones... The Russian invasion of Ukraine is perhaps the battle with the most eyes in history. The latest technology in image recording has made it possible to show the world and in detail the bloodiest scenes of the struggle that is being waged in this war of more than eight months. And social networks have been responsible for making them reach all phones.
One of the latest examples is the recording obtained by a drone of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and circulating on the internet since the weekend. It shows how the unmanned aerial vehicle tries to kill a Russian soldier who is taking refuge in a trench in an unidentified place.
The soldier wriggles free of two grenades that fall on him, grabbing them with his hand and throwing them away seconds before they explode. After the first attack, the soldier, who is wounded in the side, gets up to run away, but it is no use because the quadrocopter is back on top of him to fire two more grenades. Of the second, he also manages to get rid of it by moving it away with his hand, and the third misses the target by a two-meter error.
Judging by the recording, which ends after the last bomb failed, the soldier was miraculously saved from almost certain death.
Armed drones play a vital role in the Ukraine war. They are used by both sides in order to obtain military intelligence information, to improve the precision of artillery fire or as bomb drones.
