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.

How American drones failed to turn the tide in Ukraine

American small drone startups have struggled to perform in combat situations, disappointing investors and the Pentagon. US-made drones are often expensive, glitchy, and difficult to repair, while they also struggle to overcome electronic warfare tactics employed by adversaries. Currently, Ukraine has turned to cheaper Chinese drones to bolster its arsenal. The limitations of US drone manufacturers are partly related to the country's policy response to China, including banning Chinese components, which has made it harder and costlier to build small drones. The US Defense Department's strict requirements and limitations on software updates have also hampered innovation.
