Footage shows a Russian soldier attempting to seek shelter from hostile fire inside a steel culvert, but unfortunately for him, a highly maneuverable FPV bomb drone is being flown to his position by an expert pilot.

Many conventional fighting positions that previously offered thorough protection from both direct and indirect fire are now easily defeated by remote drones.
