Caught a Mavic with a grenade because it lost control
"Ajax" told a real front-line story about the pursuit of a drone with a grenade.
It is necessary to understand that in the third year of the war, all our instincts of self-preservation have become dulled to the maximum. And then the heat began, and the Mavik was still not designed for all this, and he pulled the grenade hard, and the intensity of the sorties was, well, just crazy. And at some point, such a mavik issues a new error for us, he says that's it, my engines are overheating, I'm going home.

The drone turns on the return home mode, it just flew away, and here it is flying back to us with this grenade. And there is no control, nothing to undo. We are in such a stupor, what should we do? And I say: come on, you have to try to catch him, because now there will be grief. I jump out of the trench to catch this Mavic, run out onto the road, and there is just such a field in front of me, and the habit of not climbing into the field has already been well practiced in me.
Later, according to Ajax, the pilot reported that he had regained control of the drone, and the deputy commander decided to try to save both the Mavic and the grenade.
I say, come on, pull it up and I take it in my hand. He lets Mavik down like that, already so neatly. And at this moment, the mavik says, "That's it, it's overheated!", and turns off the motors.
In a difficult situation, "Ajax" did not get lost, although the mavik with a grenade fell right in front of him. Zamkombata managed to jump back, fall on the road and lie down, and then quickly crawl back into the trench.
The stage is silent, the boys are already smoking (in the trenches — ed.). I say: now I will exhale and crawl, take the mavik and the grenade that has not yet exploded. And at that moment, a "beha" jumps out onto the road and that mavik moves over, and it blows up anyway.
Thanks to the drone, we saved the wounded soldier
"Ajax" also recalled the case of a wounded soldier who was saved thanks to a drone.
There was an enemy assault, the soldier jumped out of position and was wounded. He could not crawl to the dugout. And on the Mavic, we saw that he was really bleeding, and he didn't have a tourniquet. And we FPV brought him a turnstile so he could rewind, and then he was pulled away.
The commanding officer of the shock BpAK "Achilles" believes that this was one of the non-standard uses of the drone.
It's just that the delivery of a humanitarian aid is one thing there, but here it was a matter of time. It was necessary to make a decision very quickly, and here it was made and implemented as quickly as possible.
