UAV platoon commander urged not to distract children from video games – Kommersant

Young people are learning to fly drones faster thanks to their experience with computer games. If a teenager is interested in video games, you should not distract him, he said in an interview “RIA News” commander of a UAV platoon of the 20th motorized rifle division of the Southern Group of Forces with the call sign “Boshka”. Recently he was awarded the Order of Courage.

“This will help him a lot. I have some guys whose hand motor skills are immediately developed due to this. Therefore, these are generally ideal guys, I wish there were more of them here. It helps a lot if you played with toys there,” said the military man. If a teenager is interested in computer games, there is no need to worry about this, says Boshka.

According to the military man, a year and a half ago, the main load at the front lay on attack aircraft, but now combat operations are carried out mainly with the help of drones. “There is a feeling that it will develop further, and it’s scary to think what will actually happen. Let’s go back to those old films about the Terminator,” the military man added. The fighter with the call sign “Boshka” used to work as a tractor driver, but was mobilized in September 2022. According to him, even in a year and a half, methods of warfare have changed greatly. “The war has changed in technical terms… Now it’s a war of drones,” he noted.

In March of this year, the government approved an additional issue of the company JSC GTLK (State Transport Leasing Company) in the amount of 2.5 billion rubles. The money will be used for preferential leasing of drones.
