drones in the war

The role of drones in the current conflict is crucial. In addition to the attacks, Ukraine itself achieved innovation progress in the drone technology. As ZDF , a Ukrainian Marine Rohne has shot down two Russian helicopters, which demonstrates the effectiveness of autonomous systems in the warfare. Ukraine has reached high shooting rates of over 90% of the Russian Shahed drones and uses special soldiers who are trained to shoot FPV drones (First Person View) with shotguns.

While Russia continues to use Kamikaze drones of the Shahed 136 type, the Ukrainians invest in acoustic detection systems and improve their interference techniques against enemy radio connections. These developments are important to alleviate the recruitment problem of Ukraine, especially since Ukraine has a number of technical challenges, for example in the simultaneous operation of several drones.

The conflict remains tragic and complex, with constant attacks and a continuing struggle for control and security in the region. The dynamics of the war develop, and drones take on an increasingly central role.
