Posting strike videos online may help Russia tune its drones' optical targeting
Russia is collecting footage of its Geran attack drones hitting targets in Ukraine, probably to test the optical target-recognition systems that guide the drones. A Ukrainian adviser warns that Moscow now pays people to film such hits.
Russia is collecting footage of its Geran attack drones striking targets in Ukraine. According to the source, the material is probably used to test the optical target-recognition systems that guide the drones during their final seconds before impact.
A Ukrainian adviser has warned about the risk. He says Moscow now pays people to film the hits. Posting such strike videos online may therefore help Russia fine-tune the optical targeting of its drones.
The source gives no further details on the scale of the practice, how the payments are made, or how Ukrainian authorities plan to respond.
