In a dense apartment in the Kyraain Kyiv, Pavlo, the 30-year-old Drone operators who just returned earlier, a black case of the pizza box size. Inside, there was a drone with four rotors intended to fly around the room.
You pressed buttons to the control unit and pushed antenna in different positions. Nothing happened. “Sorry, not today,” he said, with a smile. The unit looked okay, but something was broken.
Previously, Pavlo, who requested him to be identified by his first name, was a drowner of the first DRONE (FPV). These little things, of Manovrable Drones have cameras looking forward to create remote. In the past year, however, FPVs Bob-Leanen FPV is critical of lines in Ukraine, changing heavy weapons manifested in the first phase of the war.
FPVs are chasing decorated vehicles, hunting of infant units through treesis and emit the soldiers with others to their death. “You cannot hide from FPV, and running is nothing,” said Pavlo. “You’re trying to calm down as much as possible, and pray.”
Whether the highest FPV is to see well, or hidden after leaves, the soldiers can hear you different, shaped shaped.
“BZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz,” said Pavlo. “You’re hunted.”

More than a year later, Pavlo returned home to the Klyiv’s apartment involved with his wife. But the sound of the drones of fan. Daily work tools such as LawnmoWels, motorcycles and air conditioners remind him of FPVs and let him and his partners.
And the environment is not to escape. Pavlo is no longer able to hear honeycomb and flies together with him without the insults. “I don’t like to get into the environment and hear this noise, because you are very reminding me of drones,” she said.
Trauma accompanied by sound – generations of soldiers affected because of sudden noises after returning to military life. But as the war in Ukraine came into a conflict driven by Drone technology, distress came from.
“Last year, most of the patients – if not physically injured – flee to psychological injury due to less drone work,” said Dr Serhii Andchiicheni, chief psychictist hospital in Kyiv Hospital. “We call this dronophobia.”
Many thousands of men return to the front as the pavzo, with severe stress disorder accompanied by drones sounds, Dr Andriichinko said. Dronephibia can be caused by a list of common urbanises – small motorcycles and scooters, Lawn, conditioners – or anything or anything made by mechanical.
“If it is fun or a road, my first thought is that it is possible to be a drone,” one soldier Frontline Frontline, Savir, lost his arm in the attack on FPV Drone Attack.
In the front row of drones was an eternal noise “, Saveur, who said in accordance with the military pricitator who asked for his Callign.
“You can sleep in your position, your Foxert, and listen to many hours. I remember that it sounds all the time.”
Or sometimes the problem was different – peace. “Peace is the first time,” said Dr Andriichenko, Othisys. “When the soldiers surrounded the fight against ranks, they began listening carefully to make sure there were no drones. There is always a look at. They always look up.”

In many cases, that endless concept of feeling has not been removed from returning to military life. The soldiers were suddenly fired and turned off the lights at home, from far away and hiding under furniture.
Later, if a soldier appeared in the treatment, Dr Andriaichenko explained that he did not care if he would recall the distance, but his family member will reveal that extractor fan or Air Conditioner has been increased.
Soldiers from former army stages – which was widely seen, direct fights – came home fearing to be forests, where most of the war had done it. But the drone wars have returned the problem. The soldiers are now “felt very safe from the forests, less than black canopies”, says a psychiatrist. “And in their free time, they try to avoid the forested places.”
The increase in the use of drone has been with another scary of military fighting – extend a dangerous place back to the front row. The soldiers worked up to 40km (25 miles) away, or dragged back after heavy circuits, they cannot allow them to be careful.
Nazar Bhikhii, a small DRONE unit commander, was about 5km from a contact line for another day when its unit earned the Russia 22kom mortar. Buyeked is successful, Bokhii is issued without Dugout, forgot the law that is used for the first suspension to listen to the Turtale Buzz.
Russian FPV meters were through the air. As it happened to him, Bokhii had time to lift his arms. When we increased, it took both his hands and his left eye burned with his face.

The PTSD Bokshiii was a limited, said, in response to motorcycles and witches. But he knew about the effect of the noise, saying, for his universe had worked in the fear of others.
“We were a man that caused the noise fear, not the victim,” said Bocoki.
They had added sometimes that noise can be used to force Russian soldiers to the displayed areas. “You go around and it becomes a psychiatric test of the enemy,” said Bocoki. “The sound of the drone itself is an overview of the mind.”
According to a Borki, Buzz above soldier long enough and will leave a strong place of residence and simply intervene in an open space. “Our psychology works in such a way that we need to do something to submit ourselves,” said Bokii. “So you wander around the mentally announced … and starts running and it is easier to beat.”
And FPV mental fear is no longer a problem only in front row. It has reached that even the places that are behind the front lines. Russia has begun using FPVS to dispose of the beasts of citizens in Ukrainian towns.
Between the worst hit by Khermon, the southern city of Russian armies and luxury within the Drone Range. According to human rights clock, Russian armies have deliberately referred to citizens in a city with FPVs killing or harming – war crime.
According to the military administrators, at least 84 residents have been killed in the Khersonal district due to the attacks of Russian Drone is attacked so far this year.
Citizens say small FPV fear daily.
“There is no such thing as a safe place,” said Dyro Ohrrinko, 23-year-old guards living in Kherson City. “You should always be alert, focused, and as a result, the body remains under pressure,” he said.

Olifirinko was waiting at the bus stop in September when he heard the general sound of Russia Drone looking up. “We thought that the bus would follow, because they have been hunting for public buses,” he said.
Instead, the drone simply condemns its form at the bus stop, sending shrives to Olfirinko’s head, face and leg. The incident video, included in bystander, captured the drone buzz followed by Olfirenko’s cries as he plundered in the pit.
Olifirinko heard drones “always”, he said, whether they were. “It beats your mental health and mental health,” he said. “Even when you leave Mykolaiv or another town, you try to listen.”
For the citizens of Oliferinko, drones convert the common sounds of many people – cars, motorcycles, manufacturers, strawbergs, as conflict with the real risk of the drones.
Because the soldiers come forward, such as the pavors, drones created a new and durable form of fear, the other is not easy to move.
“You see the world like a battlefield,” said Pavlo. “It can be a war place any second.”
And of all the causes, hearing – drones seeing a sense of successful abuse – it was the greatest interest.
“When you see something, your brain can test the second time, you can see that it is very quick.
“But an unknown sound is different. Your brain has been changed. You cannot ignore it, you must answer. Because with frontline, it can save your life.”
