1. reconnoiter

   In military operations, reconnaissance or scouting is the exploration of an area by military forces to obtain information about enemy forces, the terrain, and civil activities in the area of operations. In military jargon, the activity of reconnaissance is abbreviated to recce (British, Canadian and Australian English) and to recon (American English); derived from the root words reconnoitre and reconnoiter. The types of reconnaissance include patrolling the local area of operations and long-range reconnaissance patrols, which are tasks usually realized by U.S. Army Rangers, cavalry scouts, and military intelligence specialists, using navy ships and submarines, reconnaissance aircraft, satellites to collect raw intelligence; and establishing observation posts. Moreover, espionage is different from reconnaissance, because spies work as civilians in enemy territory.

1. Anton Bychkovski:

   Mainly, there are attempts to reconnoiter the territory of Belarus with the help of drones, we registered more than 400 instances of such attempts last year. Ukrainian forces sent drones alongside the border with Belarus, at times violating the air space. Technical means available for defense of Belarus allow us to counter such means of reconnaissance. Often such drones are forced to land in Belarus.
