I don't agree with your point of view, but it would actually make it easier to surrender to a drone: for various reasons it is impractical to offer the russian leadership an offramp at this time, but (if our[=UA] propaganda is to be believed) the morale of the suffering russian conscript is such that they would be relieved to take an offramp if properly presented.

To me the drone says "there is a large enough UA force close enough that your surrender can be processed with no danger of interference from your (former) command"; to you the drone continues "furthermore there is no dishonour in surrendering to the drone, because it is a significant escalation in the fight. You did your best, and must surrender now".

Does that make sense?

I totally get what everyone is saying, I just know it will not play out how people think it will. They might allow a handful of troops to surrender at first to condition them into thinking this is a thing. The problem is that Russia are past taking prisoners. The Russians have nothing more to learn from their enemy and have not even learned lessons from this war. Both sides are still using trench warfare. The Russians will just mow down the Ukrainians once enough of them start to surrender.

If people insist on using trenches, they will need to change the methodology to the tunnels used in the Vietnam war.

You seem to be confused. This is Russians surrendering to a Ukrainian drone. What Russia would do to Ukrainians who surrender is not a relevant topic.
