Video: Ukrainian soldiers use drones as fans during heat waves
The Ukrainian military has found an unusual use for drones during this heat wave.
The soldiers are using drones as makeshift fans to cool the air at their positions.
In one of the videos posted online, a drone was mounted inside a dugout and turned on so that the airflow from its propellers would reduce the heat inside the shelter.
In another instance, a drone was set up near a window, creating a sort of “mini-air conditioner” to ventilate the room.

In the first six months of 2026, Russian authorities transferred assets worth at least $10.16 billion to state ownership. This is nearly as much as Russia nationalized in all of 2025, and the share of such deals has already exceeded 40% of the total volume of the Russian M&A market.
