In the Kharkiv region of Ukraine, soldiers from the Khartia brigade have repurposed drones originally designed for carrying bombs to deliver essential supplies to troops on the front line. These drones, now loaded with food, water, and handwarmers, are launched towards the front line, a mere 15-minute flight away from their base.
The unit commander, known as Kit, pilots the drones from a makeshift control room, affectionately dubbed their 'Airbnb.' Using the drone's night-vision camera, Kit drops packages weighing 10 kilograms each as close as possible to the infantrymen battling Russian forces in the harsh late autumn conditions. These deliveries are crucial, providing sustenance for the soldiers for two to three days.
