🔥Chasiv Yar. Surroundings - the 24th Brigade staged a "choreography" with the occupants with FPV drones.

Soldiers of the Battalion of Unmanned Aerial Systems "RAROG" 24 OMBr named after King Danylo chased one Russian with a drone on the outskirts of Chasovoy Yar.

The invader tried to "loop" around the battered armor, but his end was obvious.

Let’s face it: this kind of resembles deliberate torture.

The vietnam war might have been the first to show us war in our living rooms, but this war may be the first to really capture the absolute ugliest part of war: the sadistic torture of victims, done by soldiers who have their enemies captured or cornered.

(Unless there is a tactical reason to maneuver the target away from the vehicle— which there could be that I just haven’t thought of)

This war could bring that to the home consciousness for the first time.

It is definitely seems a bit sadistic, but I’m thinking they wanted to get him away from the vehicle, as it is a cover. If the drone explodes on one side, and the enemy just manages to duck around the corner half seconds before, the truck catches most of the shrapnel, and they have wasted a drone
