Not only in the air, but also on the ground through the use of drones. This video shows the use of a small remote-controlled robot: a caterpillar on which a large amount of explosives has been placed. The Ukrainian soldiers also guide him to his destination with the images of a flying mini-drone. The attack robot melts into the snow and undergrowth and manages to escape the Moscow sentries. And the final explosion shows the effects of its destructive charge. This isn’t a new idea: in 1943 the Germans built a similar weapon called the Goliath, which made its debut on the Ukrainian plains to stop Soviet tanks and was then used against the allies at Anzio. But the control system was very sensitive and operational results were limited. Now the Kiev Armed Forces have adapted the idea to trench warfare in Donbass with much more advanced technology.
