Near Pokrovsk: Russian soldiers collide with Ukrainian FPV drones

An interesting tactic used to counter a Ukrainian FPV drone was to disperse smoke bombs.
It's difficult to say exactly how much the smoke played a role in the successful downing of the drone, but it's likely that it forced the operator to rise higher,
making him a more accessible target for the shooter.
If the FPV drone is not equipped with a thermal camera, the smoke bomb or smoke curtain blocks or hides the exact position of the soldier!
