Small drones, which are difficult to distinguish from children's toys, play a prominent role in the Russian-Ukrainian war, and enable even children to contribute to the resistance to repel the Russian attack on their country.
The British newspaper "The Guardian" published a report on a documentary film entitled "Ukraine from Above", which records the facts of the resistance of a Ukrainian child as he destroyed Russian tanks with a small drone.
The report indicated that the Ukrainian resistance began with small drones at the beginning of the Russian attack when the Russian airborne forces landed at Antonov Airport near Kiev.
When the supply trucks and armored vehicles arrived, what then became a familiar pattern occurred: the drone operators transmitted to the Ukrainian artillery forces the exact coordinates of Russian targets, which could now be fired upon with great accuracy, so the airfield was no longer a safe place to launch a Russian attack.
Among the operators of the marches was the child André Pokrassa, who we see in the film interviewing resistance leaders and soldiers who describe him simply as a "schoolboy" who does not look older than 14.
Tanks that did not reach their target
When the Russians massed a column of tanks towards the southeast of Kiev, they were unaware at the time that Pokrasa and his father were hiding in a fence 600 meters away from them.
The kid swapped the controls on his drone, like any little player would, providing the intelligence, which his father passed on to the local resistance leader, and once again artillery fire did the rest of the job.
"They didn't get to Kiev that day," Pokrasa Sr. said calmly of the column of Russian tanks.
And the documentary "Ukraine from Above" presents amazing footage and extraordinary characters. We see two brothers, one of whom owned a company that sold radio-controlled cars, and the other was an expert in lighting concerts.
Demand for their products dropped last year, so they redirected their skills and got involved with using a 3D printer to make small cases for the drones.
These cases can hold one bomb and include a trigger mechanism.
We watch a video clip of Russian soldiers gathered in small groups awaiting orders, and what they do not know is that a grenade will be dropped by a drone hovering over them, modified by two people in a small workshop, then their deaths will be filmed and recorded for future generations and for propaganda.
Bomb inside the tank
There are also pictures of tanks, or at least the people inside, and the small drone dropping a bomb on them through the tank's 2-foot hatch at the top of the tower.
The report said that these marches do not really need any aerial technology to be tested, however, they underscore how dangerous the war must be seen from every angle to be believed.
