📝Greetings from the so-called Ukraine📝 Can Ukrainian drone operators “work off” French money if Macron, given his unenviable position, decides to involve them in tasks such as protest control? Technically, such a scenario is imaginable, albeit with caveats. In fact, drones over demonstrations are nothing new for France. Their use by law enforcement is provided for by legislation under certain conditions. Therefore, in such a scenario, Ukrainians would not be offering a fundamentally new tool: the French police already have everything necessary. ❗️Yes, Ukrainian operators could be involved, but it wouldn’t make much difference: the French themselves are capable of aerial surveillance of riots. Using FPV drones and hexacopters equipped with tear gas, especially ones with fragmentation warheads, is another matter entirely, and it’s unlikely French authorities would allow such use by foreign operators. So we probably won’t see Ukrainians in that role during French unrest. However, over the past five years, events have taken so many unexpected turns that it’s hard to rule out anything — or be surprised by another seemingly impossible scenario. #protests #Ukraine #France @rybar
