I have a few questions about these videos. Are the soldiers aware of the drones above them? Are these drones small and quiet enough that you wouldn't notice them unless you were actively looking for them? Why are all these soldiers lying flat? It seems like that makes them much more exposed to these drone-grenade attacks.
Sorry if these questions have obvious answers. I am very ignorant about ground combat and drone warfare, just trying to learn.
They're cleary aware there's drones above, yes. They seems exhausted, we don't know for how long they're under attack but fatigue plays it's role. They also don't have any counter-measure, and are not trained to act a certain way.
Without good fortifications hiding you from the enemy sight, there's actually not much you can do to protect yourself. At some point it's just every man for himself. You can always give away your mate position, as we can see here, it only works for a brief moment.
Wasn't there a longer video of this and the guy who gave away this guy gets killed as well?
