"Sometimes we have to carry them for several days because we need to seize the opportunity between shifts [of Ukrainian armed forces’ drone operators]. That is, sometimes they fly less during the day, more at night, sometimes, accordingly... that is, we need to constantly monitor this. <...> In about ninety percent of the cases [we] succeed [in evacuating].
