Wouldn't there be some danger of them being shot down though - not that I know much about drones.

As it turns out, its not actually a "flying" drone, but more a remote controlled vehicle that has a hook attached and can grab on to things, i.e people.
I saw a video of it in operation the other day dragging a person away from the front.

That makes more sense; I was picturing a flying drone.

That would be a worthwhile enterprise! I'm sure some little whizz kid developer could manage to invent somerthing innocent looking which could rock up to individual Russian soldiers, secure them carefully, & return them to home & hopefully, sanity.
Starting with Putin...
