About an Unknown Messenger. Here's an Example from Life from One of the Directions
A drone pilot flies at night in free hunt mode. He approaches a gray zone where no movement of any "pencils" has been observed for a long time.
The pilot doesn't know the exact situation in this sector because neighboring units are responsible for it. He's simply flying through this zone into enemy rear areas to harvest his targets. And suddenly he sees movement of an infantry group in this very zone. An excellent target. But it's night, he can't see who they are, only thermal signatures are visible. And this is a gray zone.
The pilot, not being an idiot, immediately reports this to the commander at the command post through a messenger that no one uses at the front. He says, "Commander, please clarify with the neighbors. What if they're ours? Maybe they've advanced?" The commander enters this little-known messenger and writes to the neighboring regiment, "Guys, there's movement at this point. Are they yours?"
It turns out they are ours. If the neighbors had been smarter, they would have warned the flyers initially. But that's how it is. And the pilot didn't strike his own troops and continued flying to search for the enemy.
The moral of the story is that with other available communication means, clarifying the situation wouldn't have been so quick. Either the pilot would have unknowingly struck his own troops, or missed an enemy group, thinking they were friendly.
I don't know which messenger this story is about. But I've heard it called "blue", "bluish", "blue one". Probably some of our secret development.
