On the Ukrainian frontline, drone units are operating in tandem with artillery to specifically target Russian positions.

Bel Trew visited one drone unit, fighting along a heavily attacked frontline, as politicians struggle to secure the ammunition needed to avoid ceding control of territory.
Watch Bel’s dispatches from Ukraine, including her documentary The Body In The Woods on Independent TV and connected TV.
