Woke up today only to find this image of a child fleeing from Ukraine after Russia's invasion. His hand gestures while waiting for a lift towards a new life.

The operator watches through the drone’s eyes on a tiny screen and can operate it like a video game. Along with all the skills that the drones present from the business world, the sights and scenes that can be captured only through a drone are nothing short of amazing. Take a close look at this image and see.

When drones were developed, they offered an amazing visual perspective. From military intelligence to home deliveries, the potential behind drones is seemingly endless. This allows a tiny aircraft to fly above, sometimes into confined spaces, while its operator can be miles away.
