这景象酷似乌克兰国旗:金黄的玉米地、向日葵田和麦田,以及清澈湛蓝的九月天空。我们将车停在田地边缘,一排椴树的树荫下。
The scene resembles the Ukrainian flag: yellow fields of corn, sunflowers and wheat, a crisp blue September sky. We park on the perimeter of a field, in the shade of a row of lindens.
“这些树上住满了人,”我的向导——代号莱昂——说道,他是乌克兰无人系统部队“马扎尔之鸟”旅的一名士兵。在茂密的树叶下,地面士兵在一片看起来像南瓜地的地方忙碌。
“These trees are quite inhabited,” says my guide—call sign Leon—a soldier in a brigade of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces known as Magyar’s Birds. Under the dense foliage, soldiers on the ground work in what looks like a pumpkin patch.
他们不是在照料南瓜,而是在给12架固定翼无人机装载22磅炸药。“这就是乌克兰的农业,”莱昂微笑着说。
Instead of tending squash, they are rigging 12 fixed-wing drones with 22 pounds of explosives. “Agriculture in Ukraine,” Leon says with a smile.
