being launched over these neighborhoods after the drone detonates, it just lays this thin, silky wire down in its path.
And you're right, they can't be jammed.
They can't be detected because there's no signal that is going through the air from the drone back to its operator.
So the only way to know they're coming is to see it or...
Or hear it.
It is really ominous stuff.
I make the comment at some point in the documentary that what we're seeing is a blend of trench warfare and Terminator.
I mean, it really is the future of warfare and it's being invented and tested in Ukraine right now.
Yeah, well, I mean, it definitely has resonance in the Middle East, but in Ukraine and in that part of the world, it is Vladimir Putin's birthday.
And as a birthday present to himself, he, every year since the war started, has launched massive waves of drones against civilian cities.
On this particular October 7th, his attacks on Odessa and Kherson and every major city, Kharkiv and Dnipro and Kiev, represented the largest drone attacks of the war up until that point.
They've since grown even bigger.
But it is just an indication of the bloodlust of
that motivates this campaign in Ukraine.
And it filters all the way down to the frontline Russian soldier and the commanders.
I've heard Russian commanders or reports of Russian commanders describing their own infantry as human radar.
Because they will send them in waves towards Ukrainian positions, and wherever the bodies pile up, that's where the Ukrainian strong point is.
From the perspective of the Russian soldier, I already described how the reason we know that they're targeting civilians in Kherson โ
completely defenseless, unarmed civilians, old ladies coming back from the market, I reference that specifically because I've seen these videos, is because they post the kills themselves on Telegram and other Russian social media channels, referring to their missions over civilian areas of Kherson as human safaris because they're hunting humans.
So it is, I mean, it's a way of war that I don't think we really appreciate here.
