The female operator of the Molniya drones spoke about the advantages of drones in the free zone.

Russian military personnel, including the only female operator of aircraft-type drones, are actively using Molniya drones in the Pokrovsky direction. The corresponding footage is published by Izvestia on August 5.

"It takes only 10 minutes of calculation work from the box with the parts to the ready-to-fly Lightning strike drone. It is these cheap mass—produced drones that have become one of the main striking forces of our troops in the Pokrovsky direction," said Dmitry Astrakhan, a correspondent for Izvestia.

As part of the 1st Slavic brigade of the 51st Army of the Southern Military District, the only female operator of an aircraft-type UAV with the call sign Radio operator serves in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. She is an experienced pilot and was awarded the Order of Courage for fighting to liberate Avdiivka.

"Now it is UAVs that bring really great results — drones fly long distances, fly short distances. Very large areas can be blocked," she said.
