Combat drones such as the Bayraktar TB2, are said to be very helpful for Ukraine to slow the pace of the Russian military invading its country. Moreover, apparently there is a special drone pilot squad that operates it.
As quoted by us from Futurism, the elite drone pilot group is known as Aerorozvidka. They operate combat drones and target Russian military convoys, especially with the Bayraktar TB2 manufactured by Turkey.
Usually they operate at night when Russian soldiers are resting in their heavy vehicles. It was at this point that the drone struck Russian tanks, logistics trucks and other targets.
"Russian soldiers were silent at nightfall. Their fear of the Ukrainian attack forced them to hide their tanks in the countryside, between houses, because our artillery could not shoot them due to fear of sacrificing civilians," said one member of the group.
That's why combat drones were deployed to attack them effectively. Ukrainian drone pilots say the flying device is difficult to see in the dark, if not impossible. So, the drone can get close to the target and shoot precisely.
The Aerorozvidka group reportedly consisted of 50 pilots. In addition to the Bayraktar TB2 drone, it looks like they will soon be able to operate a new drone with US assistance.
The Joe Biden administration has announced it is sending 100 tactical drones to Ukraine. The possible drones in question are the Switchblade 300 and 600 which are often referred to as suicide drones.
The reason is, the Switchblade drone, which is equipped with a warhead, destroys the target by hitting it, not by shooting. Ukraine's struggle to survive the onslaught of Russia also has new ammunition.
