This here is called the shuika.
It's something that can monitor for drones in the area,
each antenna following a different frequency.
And what you don't want is to see yourself in this image.
That means that you are in the view of the FPV drones.
Everywhere you look,
there are signs of a city adapting to this new reality.
It's scary, and dangerous, and it's flying.
Today, right above us, we have FPV drones.
In Zaporizhia, workers are racing to wrap
the city's streets in protective netting
against Russian FPV drones.
Zaporizhia is now just under 20 kilometers from the front line
and has seen an influx of evacuees from the surrounding villages.
There are still about 80 people left.
There are only eight people left in my village who are still alive.
We were in the cellar when they started bombing us with drones.
As you can see, I was completely burned. Then I knew I had to leave.
It was the end. I barely survived.
As Russian forces move closer and FPV drone attacks intensify,
Zaporizhia faces the same grim fate
as so many Ukrainian frontline cities before it.
