DONETSK, April 3 Young people who were fond of computer games in civilian life quickly master the control of drones, so if a teenager is interested in gaming, then you should not distract him, said the commander of a UAV platoon of the 20th motorized rifle division of the Southern Group of Forces with the call sign “Boshka”, who was recently awarded the Order of Courage for his service.
“This will help him a lot. I have guys whose hand motor skills are immediately developed due to this. Therefore, these are generally ideal guys, I wish there were more of them here. It helps a lot if he played with toys there,” said the commander platoon
If a teenager is interested in computer games, then you should not worry about it and try to distract him. “Of course, of course, we need to keep pushing: come on. Because we don’t know what will happen next. You always need to think about it,” says “Boska.”
Of course, UAV operators in combat understand that this is not a computer game.
“Of course, we understand, well, how can we not understand? There is a living person there. But the question here is that the enemy is looking at the same screen. Therefore, there is indifference, most likely. Indifference, and you just have to think about victory and bring it closer. This is the enemy. This is a potential target that needs to be destroyed, nothing more,” the commander said.
“Boska” said that in civilian life he worked as a tractor driver and was mobilized in September 2022. Even in a year and a half, methods of warfare have changed a lot, he says, and it’s difficult to predict how the UAV sector will develop, but the films about “Terminator” come to mind. “The war has changed in technical terms. Now it seems to me that, in general, essentially all the work, the main part, is carried out by UAVs and drones. As well as day and night reconnaissance, and the destruction, in principle, of the enemy, infantry and equipment. Now it’s a war of drones “, he said.
According to him, a year and a half ago, he and many of his colleagues had no idea about drones. At that time, he served as an attack aircraft, and the main burden fell on this military specialty. Now the function of attack aircraft is to control occupied positions and populated areas, and combat operations are carried out with the help of drones. It is difficult to predict the further development of this area.
“There is a feeling that it will develop further, and it's scary to think what will actually happen. Let's go back to those old films about the Terminator,” he says.
