Search technology
The context of the search is an announcement by the squad itself: LizaAlert plans to introduce drones capable of flying along a set route without satellite navigation by the end of 2026. As squad chairman Grigory Sergeev explained, the need for this development arose due to interference from electronic warfare systems, which hinder the use of drones in searching for missing people. This is the squad's plan, not an active measure of the current operation.
