What would happen if 472 soldiers from Army of Drones are simultaneously flying up the sky? Firstly, it’ll secure certain needs of front line in air reconnaissance. Secondly, it’s just astonishing picture. Thanks everyone, who continues to donate & dronate to @U24_gov_ua project. pic.twitter.com/8QtqeL2R31
