YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Nearly four years into the Russia-Ukraine War, drones have gone from battlefield experiments to indispensable, scalable machines of destruction. Ukrainian forces have adapted drone tech and combat tactics to counter evolving Russian threats, and now they’re warning that Europe is unprepared for the kind of high-tech war they are fighting.⁠

WSJ was given exclusive access inside Lasar’s Group, one of the largest and deadliest drone units in the world. WSJ's Ben C. Solomon went inside their secret bunker, where dozens of drone pilots are attacking Russian targets 24 hours a day.⁠
