- We are especially proud of this, he said. The video turned on, and I saw an archived recording of a routine road scan. The camera scoured the sides, looking for characteristic signs of IEDs. When the drone passed the four-way intersection, the sight threads remained on the car with a raised hood standing at one of the gates. - When was that? - I wondered. "Two months ago," replied the lieutenant. - We inspect country roads and look for people who bring IEDs into combat position. When it was not necessary to accompany military convoys, the Pioneers glossed around Fallujah, looking for mined cars. Making homemade bombs requires skill and care. The slightest negligence can lead the bomb maker to death and even raze several houses to the ground. In order to ensure safety, the rebels first installed an explosive device in the car, and then sent the driver to the outskirts of the city to put a bomb on a combat platoon, connecting it to the battery. In the case of an unauthorized detonation, only a suicide bomber died. Judging by the video, the crew of the drone, having found the car with the raised hood, called the rapid reaction forces to check it. The Pioneer kept hanging over the car if something happened before the SBR arrived from the city. After the UAV made a couple of laps, the operator of the means of detection noticed the head sticking out of the window from the driver's side. The picture was not very high-quality, but judging by everything, the man looked directly at the plane. - What is he doing? - I asked. “We didn’t know that at the time,” the lieutenant replied. The man slowly got out of the car and moved to the center of the intersection. He put his hands up and turned his face towards the aircraft. The man cautiously shifted to the side in small steps, continuing to keep his face facing the Pioneer in the sky. The voiceovers on the video began to discuss what was happening.
