Main Body
Russia tried to send big groups of soldiers. Ukraine used drones to find them. Now Russia sends very small groups of two people. But drones still find them and stop them.
俄羅斯曾嘗試派遣大批士兵。烏克蘭利用無人機發現他們。現在俄羅斯派遣僅兩人的極小規模小組。但無人機仍然能發現並阻止他們。
Russia also uses tanks and motorcycles on roads. Ukraine sees them with drones. Ukraine then hits them with other drones. Now Russia builds walls to protect itself.
俄羅斯也在道路上使用坦克和摩托車。烏克蘭透過無人機監視他們。接著烏克蘭使用其他無人機攻擊他們。現在俄羅斯建造牆壁來保護自己。
Western countries have expensive radar. These radars do not see small, low drones. Ukraine uses cheap sound sensors to find drones. Now Western countries want to use these cheap sensors too.
西方國家擁有昂貴的雷達。但這些雷達無法偵測小型且低空飛行的無人機。烏克蘭使用廉價的聲波感測器來尋找無人機。現在西方國家也想使用這些廉價感測器。
Conclusion
Russia cannot move forward because of drones. Western countries are now buying cheaper sensors to find drones.
由於無人機的存在，俄羅斯無法前進。西方國家現在正購買較廉價的感測器來發現無人機。
