Their target is Russia itself, a powerful symbol of Kyiv’s decision to take the fight back to Moscow, and the dangerous escalatory turns this conflict is taking.
Dusk brings an urgent race to hide before dark. The “Code 9.2” drone unit, from the 92nd assault brigade, are moving into a new launch position from where they are about to conduct a rare and potent mission: flying drones into Russia and dropping mines onto key roads inside enemy territory. Twilight provides a moment of opportunity to set up new equipment and unload their Humvee before dark makes these complex tasks impossible.
Artem and Andrey race to attach the mines to the drone, using only red lights. Suddenly, a tiny whining noise is audible. “Run,” says Andrey, and they take cover in a nearby bunker. Spotted once, the trenches could become a target for airstrikes and artillery all night, and there is little chance to escape: they have no vehicle and racing across open ground on foot is perilous too. A few minutes pass. Flares illuminate an adjacent field. Battles are raging elsewhere too. The team resumes work.
