The command posts with workplaces for UAV pilots were designed by the charity's specialists on the basis of passable minibuses, taking into account the combat experience and wishes of the marines themselves. The vehicles have been re-equipped and equipped with the most necessary things to ensure the crews' mobility and comfort while performing combat missions.
"Mobile UAV command posts have batteries for uninterrupted operation and air conditioning, which means they can operate in any weather, winter and summer. These vehicles help us to quickly change positions, reconnaissance areas, and move along the entire contact line," says an aerial reconnaissance man with the 35th Separate Marine Brigade, call sign "Raccoon". The vehicles will increase mobility, safety and convenience for the crews searching for enemy targets and adjusting fire on them.
