"Baba-Yaga"-type, industrial agrocopters had a short, sinister history of distributing pesticides on British strawberries several years ago. Their unassuming operators were predominantly Ukrainian farmhands who'd been tending these fields for years.

Originated for conventional agricultural roles, the "Baba Yaga" drones turned out to be under-equipped for combat situations. They were too noisy and far too enormous, making them easily detectable, even under cover of darkness.
