The war in Ukraine has fundamentally been redefined by the drone battlefield, where inexpensive First-Person View (FPV) drones, loitering munitions, and aerial surveillance dominate the skies. A senior Ukrainian commander has issued a stark warning: Ukraine desperately needs a significant increase in the supply of drones and, critically, a complete overhaul of its battlefield tactics to keep pace with an adapting Russian military.
This package explores the hard lessons being learned on the front lines, where troops are struggling with an environment where visibility means instant destruction. Russian forces have demonstrated the ability to rapidly integrate drone technology, achieving a slight lead in areas like fiber-optic-controlled FPV drones and standardized production. Commanders stress that a new "drone wall" must be erected, but that the technology alone is not enough—success hinges on the training and ingenuity of the drone operators and the development of agile, adaptive tactical units.
