Drones took 2 nights to lay a minefield that would have taken troops 2 weeks: Ukrainian corps
The Third Army Corps said it laid minefields about a quarter-mile deep in Donetsk, where its forces have launched an offensive near the city of Lyman.
Ukrainian troops have reported that their ground and aerial drones have dramatically reduced the time required for laying mines, with one drone system reportedly completing a task that would typically take human troops two weeks in just two nights. This innovative use of technology was demonstrated during the recent offensive in Donetsk by the Third Army Corps, which deployed drones to lay a minefield approximately a quarter-mile deep.
The operation, part of the larger Operation Vivaldi, saw the drones successfully create around 400 meters of mines, a significant achievement that highlights the potential of unmanned systems in modern warfare.
