    My understanding is that all they have to do is lay down arms and raise their hands. The drone will lead them to a location to be taken into custody.

    From this brief snippet, this dude looked pretty isolated and significantly lacking in kit (which is saying something) - he didn’t even have his rifle. Kinda seems like a slam dunk “maybe I should try to surrender” moment.

      Not an fpv quad. They are built for speed, not flight time, and they’re also carrying an explosive so they really can’t fly that long. The fixed camera also makes it virtually impossible to lead a Russian to a surrender point while also keeping eyes on him. Every surrender I’ve seen has been done by a surveillance drone which are larger, have more endurance, and a more sophisticated camera.
