Why the Russian invaders are afraid of the Ukrainian drone "Baba Yaga"
As "Ajax" noted, "Baba-Yaga" is a bomber, and due to the fact that it is very large, it is used only at night, because it is very easy to shoot it down during the day.
When it rises in the air, it is very easy to knock it down. Accordingly, it is used only at night, which is why all night bombers were called "Baba Yaga". Why "Baba Yaga"? God knows, it came from interceptions. She really terrified the Russians for a very long time. Because really, when something like that buzzes over your head, and even then 10 kg drops on you, it really demotivates.

The Ukrainian defender emphasizes that the phenomenon of "Baba Yaga" is that the Russian army never started using this drone against the Armed Forces.
Ukrainian FPV drone pilots are a priority target for the Russians
"Ajax" notes that the Russian army is constantly hunting for the positions of pilots.
The pilot will now be chosen between the tank and the pilot. And if the enemy detects the position of the pilots, then they will send the KAB there. KAB is spent on infantry only when a conditional assault is being prepared. That is, the pilot is really a priority target. We do not storm the landing, accordingly, we have a lower mortality rate. But the pilots die, and quite actively, — the military said.
