I wonder what was the situation here. Looks like they placed two explosives on the camera-unit and took their sweet time to take that down. Isn't there operators around with shotguns to drop drones or any other kind of personnel on site? Additionally that Murom-M seems to be commercial system meant for building and area surveillance, not military use. That of course doesn't mean much, it can still be quite useful hardware.

Still, that scene with a bit better camera and action music could be a part of a movie, not something I'd expect from a war zone.

This is probably a remote border security post. Removing these blinds russian boarder security and causes them to have to spend manpower to replace the unit, and until they do, manned recon is needed to prevent Ukrainian boarder raids in that area.

This is tactically important. A small attack increases the work load for boarder guards... during a war. These attacks require a much more intensive response to repair than their cost. And while the systems are down, Ukraine can attack outposts, and sneak in agents, through that part of russia.

They're pretty much playing missions from video games.

Drone tech like this would have made those Farcry radio tower missions a fucking breeze.

Years of training in the depths of Akiba's game centers have readied me for this moment
