Russia using children to design and test its military drones, investigation finds
Teenagers who take part in video games tell of being headhunted to work on technology used against Ukraine
Russian authorities have systematically involved children in the design and testing of drones for the country’s war in Ukraine through nationwide competitions that begin with innocent-seeming video games and end up with the most talented students headhunted by defence companies, an investigation has found.
