I SEE NO DEATH

SYNOPSIS

An immersion into the work of an elite Ukrainian military unit of kamikaze drone operators. The group travels to the most difficult sectors of the front to deter the constant assault attacks of the enemy. A diverse group from simple guys from the outback to engineers with a high level of IQ. Laughter, joy, and routine mixed with constant flights and destruction of equipment and manpower. A second before the explosion, the connection with the drone is closed and the operator does not see death with his own eyes.
