Watching the way drones have been used in Ukraine has been fascinating, it’s my belief that expendable unmanned drones of all sizes will play a crucial role in future conflicts, both as observation platforms and as munitions.
Ukraine has sunk or damaged a number of warships with their drone boats, and the Bayraktar played a key role in the sinking of the Moskva. They also damaged a number of aircraft far behind enemy lines with Australian made cardboard drones.
