So do Ukrainian drone operators, who have developed tactics for spooking the horses into throwing their riders off.

I sure hope the Ukrainians are just shooting the soldiers and leaving the horses unscathed.

I don't think drones are that precise.

They've been doing their best to scare the horses into bucking their riders first, then blow up the riders.
