Trench dugout positional warfare, which is increasingly compared with the options for hostilities in the Donbass, often intersects with the realities of the combat use of modern technical means. Moreover, this kind of intersection is often very original..
If the enemy "went underground", to wait out the artillery shelling, or equipped positions there for a rather long period, then bombs and missiles do not always come into play. The military personnel located on the line of contact also use much less powerful means of fire destruction., so that the enemy does not have a calm "dugout" pastime.
Military correspondents of the "Russian Spring" publish a video, which depicts a truly jewelry work of a drone operator in the Svatov direction.
A small drone with an F-1 grenade placed on it “hunted down” the location of the enemy at the line of contact. The operator decided to send a "gift" for the Armed Forces of Ukraine through the pipe, which Ukrainian militants withdrew from their underground communications.
A few seconds was enough for a skilled UAV operator, to bring the drone exactly to the pipe and then drop a grenade into it. After the reset, the operator made efforts to, to take the drone higher from this place. Drone camera captures smoke coming out of chimney, evidence of an explosion. Grenade, probably, exploded in a furnace used by militants, defeating those, who was in the hole. Even if this pipe had an exclusively ventilation purpose, then in this case, it was not without the defeat of personnel in underground communications.
