Chase Bailey, a drone pilot and trainer for Las Vegas-based Brinc Drones, has been training Ukrainian drone pilots who hope to use the aircraft in Ukrainian cities such as Kharkiv, Kherson and Dnipro, which have been the subject of ongoing Russian assaults. The training program took place outside a public safety facility in northern Poland. One session showed how a Brinc drone can break through a car window to gain access to the vehicle. Blake Resnick, the 22-year-old founder of Brinc, helped supervise the training. Photos and story courtesy of Karolina Jonderko, for The Washington Post.
