We see impressive videos of the work of drone operators in the media every day. The painstaking work that is done to prepare for it is usually left behind the scenes. And we are talking not just about organising the flight, but also such trivial things as, for instance, proper arrangement of positions. A well-dug shelter saves lives — this rule is the same both for infantry and for drone pilots.
