How drone combat in Ukraine is changing warfare

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.

  5. We hold Chinese 🇨🇳 Xi Jinping accountable for the damages caused by the Russian invasion
    because of his "no limits" support for Putin.

  6. I am sure Ukrainians will sell their sea drones like hot cakes.
    Taiwan 🇹🇼 will be one of their main customers for sure.

  7. Global why do you have 4+ million subs but so little engagement? Could it be that you block negative comments and report news that is over 6 months old?

  10. The war is so deep and intense in ukraine that yesterday i saw one of their olympic gymnast training and peacefully going to get her nails done. Must be really hard for her to cope with all this war 😂😂

  12. NATO and Ukraine lost the war well over two years ago. It’s time to admit defeat. Warlord Zelenskyy needs to release all his political opponents he’s imprisoned, stop kidnapping and forcing men to fight and unlive on his behalf, allow free elections and SIGN THE PEACE DEAL!

  13. So everyone can just stay at home and fly drones at each other. How about if they just played a virtual war game against each other. Winner take all.

  15. drones are nice but they arent where the real casaulties are coming from. those are coming from artillery and air support and ukraine has neither. this is just more propaganda to prop up a failing thing.

  16. We have all been assured since day one of this conflict that Russia simply cannot win. The politicians, media and their experts detailed how Ukraine was winning, how the next offensive would end Russia. And we were confidently told that the next weapons system supplied to Ukraine, along with another few billion dollars, would be the "game changer". The bought-and-paid-for “military experts” who once pontificated loud and long and, invariably, wrong have moved on. We were also told that Ukraine was fighting for democracy and human rights, after the country had suspended elections, banned opposition political parties and media and detained Orthodox priests. And all that about the Canadian Parliament giving a standing ovation to a WW2 N@zi was all just an unfortunate misunderstanding, of course. Lindsay Graham has said the quiet part out loud (12 June 24). US – NATO is in Ukraine to extract the mineral resources of that country. In 2021 the IMF gave a loan to Ukraine. One of the conditions for that loan was foreigners being allowed to buy land in the country; previously this had been denied. Now foreign, mostly US, corporations, are buying up land in Ukraine. They have bought and now control more land than Russia has taken during its special military operation. Is it possible that the US and Western Military-Politician-Think Tank-Finance-Intelligence-Security-Media-Reconstruction Industrial Complex has been less than honest with us? Surely not.

    Remember the dead of the Maidan Coup, which Elensky (he has demanded that the world stop using the letter "Z" because of its connections to Russia) has said was the "first victory" over Russia. The only "victory" because they were only fighting against unarmed civilians. Remember the 16,000+ ethnic Russians killed by Ukraine in the Donbass between 2014 and the intervention by Russia. Nobody in the Global West will admit that was an attempt at genocide. Remember the 46 people murdered and 200 injured in the massacre at the Trade Union Building in Odessa in 2014. Massacred because they opposed the coup backed by the US and NATO and organized by Victoria Nuland. And let us not forget the Parliament of Canada giving a standing ovation to a former WW2 N@zi from Ukraine who they were told fought the Russians, an ally in WW2. Recently Boris Johnson hosted members of the Azoz Brigade Neo-N@zis to the British Parliament. One hopes that they gave him a "My Mother is Ukraine and Bandera is My Father" patch to wear.

  18. 100,000 billion dollars syphoned to this so called war, meanwhile Global supports Palestine and Hamas demonizing Israel at every opportunity

  19. It is hilarious you guys are repeating stories from last year. And the year before that. Except now ukraine recruits from highschools bcoz the population is less than half before the war and they need those bodies for propaganda videos for the west so they think they are winning.

  21. Deben enviar los F16 a Ucrania y atacar fuerte y rapido, no se debe atacar de forma limitada eso solo sirve para entrenar a Rusia y le da tiempo a que creen medidas Contraelectronicas que anulen la presicion de las Armas avanzadas de OTAN, Himars y demas. OTAN esta preparada actualmente solo oara guerras fuertes y rapidas, no guerras de desgastes. Deben atacar fuerte rapido y preciso y acabar de una ves por toda con las ostilidades Rusas…..
