Is the war entering a new phase? 'Long-range sanctions': Ukraine hopes strikes cause Russia fear and losses Then come indistinguishable shouts of male voices, followed by a crescendo - a loud sound like scissors tearing through wrapping paper. "Like an orchestra, every part has to work together in order for us to achieve effective strikes," says Colonel Ray, commander of the Kairos Battalion of the Magyars Birds Brigade. The drone, roughly the length of a compact SUV with a wingspan of nearly 6 metres (19.7 feet), climbs into the night. Where exactly it is headed is known only to him.
