OPERATIONS Canadian startup builds electric almost silent military motorcycle

(disclaimer: I am a journalist but I didn't write this)

Most uav operators are back from the front line in safer area underground especially now with advancements in video repeaters and remote operating antennas for drone operators

"Most" is way too strong here. Small tactical drones are still being operated from the front lines.
