The face of war has changed..

Intermission: The new face of war.

“Usually we work night & day with a mix of platforms supporting each other.

Some for recon, others for combat.

We observe them, follow and determine their exact location.  Then the combat drones strike. Some times they hear us as certain drones have a recognizable sound. When they hear that sound they usually become easier to see because they start to run in a panic or start lying down trying to hide, but - not all of them make it.

I have to hand it to our enemy, they have become better with drones and counter drone operations, but nowhere near as skilled like we are. It’s a constant fight with custom designs constantly changing.

Depending on where we are deployed our mission tends to change. But on the eastern front we conduct hundreds of missions a day, dropping upwards of 50 grenades per drone on a good day.  We know we are the eyes of the troops on the ground, we can see how much we help.

We are aware we are in it for the long haul.”
