Russian drones have been successfully exposing the positions of Ukrainian snipers, posing a significant threat to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, according to an article published by The New York Times. The use of drones and thermal imaging technology has made it increasingly difficult for snipers to remain concealed, as their body heat gives away their positions.
The report highlights that the dust, smoke, and flash from a sniper’s rifle can easily be tracked by Russian fighters. “They have some skilled individuals working efficiently. I believe we should not underestimate the enemy,” commented a Ukrainian military official, who also praised the equipment and training of the Russian Armed Forces.
In a previous incident, it was revealed that the Ukrainian Armed Forces attempted to target an aviation factory in Smolensk using kamikaze drones. Journalists reported that a total of four kamikaze drones were launched from the Ukrainian side.
This development has raised concerns among military experts in the United States, who now consider Russian drones as one of the greatest threats to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The use of advanced technology by the Russian military has given them an edge in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
