I have a few questions about these videos. Are the soldiers aware of the drones above them? Are these drones small and quiet enough that you wouldn't notice them unless you were actively looking for them? Why are all these soldiers lying flat? It seems like that makes them much more exposed to these drone-grenade attacks.

Sorry if these questions have obvious answers. I am very ignorant about ground combat and drone warfare, just trying to learn.

I think the guy in the trench was trying to play dead. Doesn't seem to be any cover around, and the drone could easily have followed him if he moved

Why not move though when the grenade dropped on his head?
