No one can ascertain the current Earth year (or if there is still Earth at all), so we start the count from Vostorg-7 year 0. This year marked the arrival of a joint Russian-Chinese colonization probe on Vostorg-7, a probe dispatched a very long time ago - in the early 21st century of Earth. After a long interstellar odyssey, it finally reached the unforgiving yet potentially habitable planet. The initial dreams of forging a unified spaceborne human nation were soon abandoned, as differing visions for utopian societies took root. Instead, seven independent human colonies emerged from the cosmic dust. While most of these colonies succumbed to rapid deterioration, with their inhabitants mutating into otherworldly beings or descending into feral lifestyles amidst Vostorg-7's unforgiving terrain, two colonies stood out as bastions of Man’s determination - the Derzhava and the Planet Cult.
Although somebody may think otherwise the air defense crew's life isn't a comfortable vacation with working hours only observing colorful TV displays. The AA crew's medium life duration on the modern battlefield is not so long. Russian air foces outgun European and esp. Ostslavic ones in every airplane type in several times. Not a surpise to say that expensive air defense installations will be their first target in case of serious skirmishes on the Ostslavic territory. Not mentioning that serious air defences such as NASAM require long time to be installed.
Aside from helicopters the peacekeeping forces in Ostslavia will have to deal with numerous warlord groups who can't be negotiated at all.
The solution was developing a unmanned easy-to-built drone which serves equally well against helicopters, close range aircraft and RPG-armed guerillas hiding in the windows of demolished Ostslavic residential blocks.
In order to guarantee the stable signal and that the drones won't be jammed, the mobile control center is an armoured heavy duty truck usually moving some 100-200 meters away, though in special cases the signal can be retransmitted over longer distances.

I love Combat Drones! Keep up the good work.
looks like some Nazi thing from WW2 o.O
The Goliath Tank? lol that's really far from this drone.
I think he means this:

It's the sdkf 222
1) I'm sure military fans will value such subtle "easter eggs" of a kind
2) by popular team opinion we decided that we generally like Sdkfz.222
It looks like a 222 with a drug problem.
I 'm very sorry and don't want to sound like a **** but please, double check what you 've written before posting it.
