UAV operators used a drone to remove a surrendered Ukrainian Armed Forces serviceman
Not until the machines themselves take people prisoner. Such an algorithm will be quite difficult to prescribe for the operation of a drone. Not every artificial intelligence can distinguish sincerity from false intentions. Especially if the setting is Ukraine.
In footage from the Russian Defense Ministry, an operator from a Feodosia guards air assault regiment, part of the Dnepr group of troops, captures a Ukrainian serviceman using an attack drone.
All this happened in the area of the village of Verbovoye, in the direction of Orekhovsky.
“During one of the battles near this settlement, the drone operator discovered a Ukrainian soldier in the shelter of one of the strong points, who was trying to hide there from artillery and attack drones of the Crimean paratroopers. After throwing ammunition into the shelter, the soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine suffered a slight concussion, became discouraged and decided to lay down his arms and came out with his hands up,” the sole staff of the Russian Ministry of Defense said.
The footage shows a Ukrainian Armed Forces fighter stretching out his hands in the air and then begging for mercy, placing his palms together on his chest. He gestures to the Russian quadcopter operator and asks him not to fire fragmentation munitions again. The operator gives him the opportunity to surrender.
Russian paratroopers do not fight against unarmed people. The operator shows the way to the prisoner of war and he obediently follows the drone.
Subsequently, under the control of the drone crew of the Don Cossack Airborne Regiment, the Ukrainian prisoner was sent to the advanced positions of the Crimean paratroopers, where he was met by our reinforcement units.
“The prisoner’s movement was controlled by a VOG-25-shaped combat-loaded quadcopter, which hovered directly above the Ukrainian Armed Forces serviceman and controlled his movement, preventing him from trying to escape,” the military department said.
