Russian military-affiliated channels have released footage showing soldiers from the 36th Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 25th Army, part of the 'West' Group of Forces, undergoing training to counter enemy unmanned aerial vehicles. An instructor with the call sign 'Benzema' is shown teaching techniques for shooting down small drones, emphasizing rapid position changes and firing from cover to intercept the UAVs before they can transmit targeting data. The training highlights the ongoing adaptation of frontline infantry tactics to the pervasive threat of reconnaissance and attack drones on the battlefield.
