Drone Swarms Are About to Change the Balance of Military Power

Drone technology has become increasingly pervasive on the modern battlefield, posing a potential shift in the global balance of military power. The low cost and simplicity of drones make them accessible and widely available, allowing for unconventional warfare strategies. However, the true potential of drones lies in their ability to be deployed in swarms directed by artificial intelligence (AI). The future of warfare will be determined by the systems of weapons driven by AI, rather than individual weapon systems. The winning side will be the one that develops the most advanced AI decision-making capabilities to outpace adversaries in a brain-on-brain conflict. The AI arms race will define the current era, and if placed in the wrong hands, AI dominance could become a tool of conquest.

Four ways Ukraine’s drone innovations are changing warfare

Ukraine is using drone technology to innovate and counter Russia's advantages on the battlefield. The country has developed drones that intercept Russian flying machines, drop molten metal to incinerate tree lines, and carry automatic rifles and grenade launchers. With a smaller military and fewer resources, Ukraine is relying on drones to combat Russia's might. Drone manufacturers are mass-producing small, cheap, strong, and agile quadcopters that are battle-ready. However, Russia is rapidly copying and adapting these innovations. Ukraine is also using drones to combat cheap aerial drones, eliminate Russian reconnaissance drones, and resupply troops in trenches.
