Ukraine's Drone Warfare Shifts the Balance Against Russia
TL;DR Summary
Russia has surpassed Ukraine in the number of first-person-view (FPV) drones deployed along the front lines of the conflict. While Ukraine has just one drone, Russia has between five and seven in key battleground sectors. Ukraine's drone army has been crucial in reconnaissance, suicide drone strikes, and guiding artillery fire. However, Russia has caught up by ramping up its own FPV drone programs and sending large quantities to the front lines. Western experts estimate that Russia is producing tens of thousands of FPV drones per month, with reports of increasing Russian drone activity in certain areas of the front lines.
