A US veteran who fought in Ukraine stated that the high presence of drones in the war is severely impacting troops' morale, hindering their ability to conduct combat operations effectively.
The veteran mentioned that drones, especially fiberoptic ones, are difficult to detect and can approach at high speeds, making them a significant threat on the battlefield.
The use of drones has altered military tactics in Ukraine, removing elements of surprise and impacting soldiers' safety, mental well-being, and overall combat effectiveness.
The veteran emphasized the need for supporting demobilized soldiers dealing with PTSD and focusing on mental and physical rehabilitation to address the long-term impact of drone warfare on combatants.
