29

the Ukrainian military has been outgunned struggling for months with a shortage of ammunition and artillery shells what’s helped it hold back Russian forces was replacing Conventional Weapons with commercial technology drones that have taken to the Skies over the front lines in Ukraine are basically the same platforms for sale in electronic stores but turned into weapons of war for as little as a few hundred a small over-the-counter drone equipped with an explosive can destroy military equipment worth millions of dollars Alexander kishan is Ukraine’s minister of strategic Industries this kind of things uh are significantly cheaper than other uh classic Warfare tools so actually that’s the most efficient way how we can uh win this war Ukraine is betting big on drones from a few domestic manufacturers Just 2 years ago there are now more than 200 companies churning out an estimated 150,000 drones a month Ukraine’s president set a goal in December to produce a million drones domestically in 2024 it’s already past that headed for 2 million the ramping up and development that’s gone on would normally take years this war has pushed that research development testing and evaluation cycle into a matter of weeks days and sometimes hours from the first years of the conflict both sides used aerial drones for surveillance since Russia’s full-scale Invasion the evolution has sped up from drones simply dropping bombs to first person view fpv drones equipped with Munitions that explode on impact drone units share videos online both for fundraising and to instill fear they want the enemy to know what they can do this war has been tick toed in a way that no other conflict has Ukraine has also developed long range drones equipping small aircraft with 300 kg Warheads it’s allowed Ukraine to Target energy and Military infrastructure inside Russia well they shell us deep inside my country daily we shell them as well now militaries around the world are watching the use of drones in the Ukraine war the US recently canc the development of a new attack and reconnaissance helicopter Even after spending $2 billion on the project it decided the helicopter’s roll on the battlefield could be done by aircraft without people on board like Armstrong Global News Montreal

The use of drones in war has evolved since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began more than two years ago.

Drones have evolved to the point where Ukraine’s military now has a branch specifically focused on the unmanned systems. Mike Armstrong explains how Ukraine has made drones a pivotal part of its defence efforts and how it may change warfare for the foreseeable future.
