Drone Amnesia

Russia has been using drones to chase civilians who live near the frontline in Ukraine, hounding them out of their homes and hunting them down, a UN inquiry has found.

But Sky neglected to mention that using drones to 'chase' civilians is not new - the Ukrainian army was doing it in 2018.

In his book What I Saw in Ukraine 2015-2022, Benoit Paré describes (pp. 357-358 and footnote 155) how:

...the Ukrainian army had developed a new bombing tactic with 30mm grenade drops from drones, and that they were targeting civilians, both in Sakhana and Pikuzy.

So this technique is old news and it's debatable who actually used it first.

If this was a balanced report then this should have been mentioned.

But this is the MSM and it is not balanced reporting, so it wasn't.
