“It’s a very cost-effective and precise weapon,” Mykhailo says from a frontline position in a recording to answer questions. By nightfall, the Ukrainian unit has advanced three kilometers. With the Wild Hornets and Ukrainian troops in hot pursuit, the Russians are obliged to keep ceding ground for the rest of the day. The relentless storm of pinpoint attacks and mounting losses forces the beleaguered enemy into a disorderly retreat. In a non-stop relay of destruction, his squad uses the drones to precisely target Russian trenches and armor, zip back to reload, then quickly return to rain down more damage. Mykhailo’s unit sets its 10 Wild Hornets to bomb-dropping mode and goes to work.
The quick, highly maneuverable drones, hand-assembled by Ukrainian volunteers, are uniquely able to serve in a kamikaze role as guided missiles, munition-dropping micro-bombers, or for aerial reconnaissance. Stationed in southern Ukraine as part of Ukraine’s counteroffensive, they must find a way to clear out a network of Russian trenches manned by a well-dug-in enemy that has both more troops and more armored equipment.īut what the Russians don’t have is Wild Hornets. Mykhailo’s squad has a seemingly impossible task ahead.
