00:15aerial monitoring. That video you saw there for example is you know a live
00:21example of how the operation works so as much as the TTPs were in the area
00:27looking for the vehicle having given them the coordinates you know where the
00:32vehicle was hidden they might have passed but an aerial view especially with
00:36things like turmoil imagery allows us to see these vehicles from afar even if
00:43they hide it in bushy areas and stuff like that as well as if there are suspects in
00:48the area we could find them a lot faster than searching on the ground and that's
00:52like well what would have happened yesterday or actually this morning I mean

01:02vehicle or the erratic driving of a vehicle at a certain hour to put us on

02:10significant impact as well on things like disaster management ODPM you know if
02:15something happens in an area we could have a drone over it faster than ODPM could get a
