Ukraine is engaged in the bleak future of war, with both sides using remotely-operated drones to strike individual soldiers, army positions and other targets with deadly speed and precision.

With the frontline largely static and soldiers dug in, drones have become the new means of attack, with both Russian and Ukrainian forces seeking to gain an advantage using the new technology.

Russia has the advantage in numbers: six drones for every Ukrainian one, although Ukraine’s drone teams say they have the technological edge and are quicker at finding ways to counter-attack and jam Russian drones.

Jane Hill presents a BBC News at Ten special frontline report by Quentin Sommerville in Lyptsi in north-east Ukraine.

    That voice in the car announcing drone in the air is scary, war in the 21st century
  • The threat detection AI voice system gives it all a nice dystopian touch

    I served in Afghanistan but this is terrifying modern warfare. Very different to my experience, i suppose i was lucky.
  • The kind of PTSD this could induce is unimaginable. Imagine living in constant fear of not knowing whether or not you'll be dead in the next 10 seconds and having to be alert 24/7 to listen out for alerts. When would your nervous system ever rest? You'd carry that with you for years and years. This kind of thing breaks my heart.
  • The laptop in the "control center" had a discord call lol
  • Imagine...being hounded by drones that can see you day or night, in good weather and in bad, can see your heat signature under soft cover, knows no pain, hunger, thirst or exhaustion, it never sleeps and is relentlessly hunting you...and even if you kill it, the enemy will know and another will follow...like a recurring nightmare.
  • 3:53 Nice to see that the Ukrainian high command is using Discord on a laptop for communication.
  • @monty1864
    On the news last night , followed by the horrific PTSD suffered by someone on Strictly come dancing ????
  • The introduction of drones also seems to have made any form of offensive very, very difficult. As soon as you put armour out in the open it becomes very vulnerable. There no military solution to this war. There has to a political process and both sides are going to have to make uncomfortable concessions.

    Going underground is not much protection from a FAB-3000 3 ton glide bomb.
  • this looks worse then bakhmut literally nothing left but ashes over there wtf
  • Who else thought they were using murder-bots… independent drones?
  • @jamessmith84240
    War in the future is going to end up like Terminator 2. It's inevitable.
  • @S-T-E-V-E
    Why are these Russian Soldiers always alone in a field when hit by these Drone Bombs? Are the Ukraine Army executing POW's?
  • “The deadly new weapon”. I presume nothing to do with our beloved partners’ help. Nothing but deep concern
