A 12-year-old boy from Ukraine managed to prevent a possible tragedy after he deactivated a Russian FPV drone that was heading towards his younger siblings. The child noticed the device while playing outside and, acting quickly, cut the fiber optic cable, causing the drone to lose control and fall away from them. Although the act was extremely risky, the boy said he reacted instinctively to protect his family, having previously acquired knowledge from people in the military, in a context where the war continues to affect the daily lives of civilians.
