Rural Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine. A quiet, clear night has comedown, the last one of this calendar summer. Above your head: the entire universe at once, with satellites moving back and forth like flies. Every now and then, the hum of engines carries through the air; somewhere in the distance, orange flashes appear, and about ten seconds later comes the sharp sound of an explosion. Nearly around the clock, an aerial battle is taking place over the entire region against Russian jet-powered drones. The waves of explosions abruptly die away, and once again only the crickets are singing. That’s life.
