Bad news!
"Russian drones that maim soldiers by causing complex shrapnel wounds are overwhelming Ukrainian medics, as drone warfare in the conflict intensifies.
The newer FPV drones explode on impact, and can cause burns and injuries with dozens of tiny pieces of shrapnel, which are more difficult to treat than injuries from conventional shelling. Russia ramped up its usage of such drones late last year.
Battlefield surgeons say the drones are now responsible for the majority of battlefield casualties.
Shortages in medical equipment like tourniquets and painkillers exacerbate the problem, and the intricate wounds mean the soldiers require prolonged hospital stays."
