Appreciate the operator's patience

Cavalry in 2026 is crazy

god bless the drone operator avoiding the horses

Poor horses. ❤️

It is the year 2026, and drone operators have to develop protocols to take out the riders but spare the horses. Wild times to be alive.

Gotta hand it to Ukraine, even with a situation like this they try to do what's right, even if there is a tradeoff. Poor horses. Its heartbreaking

I wonder what sort of psychopaths this war is creating

This has become such a desperate and horrific war. What the actual f*#%

Russia often uses the Cavalry despite the units being detected easily.

You can always tell a lot by how someone treats animals. They've done nothing wrong, just nail the orcs.

I am so sick of those videos. The poor guy knowing he is dead, fighting for his life...

Based drone operator avoiding to hurt the poor horse.

Ukraine, so humane, push out some propaganda but make sure it puts Russians below animals

Fucking GOATS! Ukraine, could you be more awesome in the face of utter malevolence? YOU are the true heroes, Ukraine! Kill those Orcs! Save those horses! Glory to Ukraine!

Don't push the horses.

coward operators

The horses must be protected. The Russians must be destroyed.

They use horses so they can eat it after

coming soon

Cavalry and drones on the same battlefield. Incredible.

Don’t let yourself get fooled. They spare the horses in the videos they show us. War never changes.

Buckaroo

please spare the horses

I love that they seem to be chasing them off if the horses first.

why not try to shoot the drone? it’s impossible to outrun

Drone warfare should be a war crime. Shit is disgusting

>cavalry The state of Russian army

They know that it is difficult for a Ukrainian soldier to kill an animal. The Ukrainian soldiers treat animals very well. When I say animals, I mean horses, not Russian orcs.

Russia is desperate.

This is so good to see. I totally understand the internal conflict of the operators; they need to kill RuZZians but they also have basic humanity instincts towards animals.

the horses are stolen from ukranian civilians and trucked to the frontline. these are all pedigree show ponies and performance horses. none of these horses are combat trained or trained for warfare. this is why they spook. they are also took a camel from one of the zoos.

Horses are usually attacked by ground predators, not aerial. They will spook and rear if the dones come at them near to ground level, but not from above
