Dear MEL Topic Readers,
How Russia’s drone attacks have reshaped the war in Ukraine: An
illustrated guide
On August 28, Russia attacked Ukraine with over 30 missiles and nearly
600 strike drones, killing more than 20 people and wounding dozens. Since Russia’s
full-scale invasion in February 2022, both countries have been using drones
extensively. In the military, aerial drones are being used for intelligence,
surveillance, reconnaissance, electronic warfare, and direct attacks. While
smaller drones are portable and deployed for low-altitude, short-range
operations, larger drones can fly at higher altitudes and longer distances, deploy
smaller drones, and carry heavier explosives. Many of the attack drones are
disposable, designed to be destroyed upon hitting their targets with payloads, called
kamikaze or suicide drones. They are very economical because they can be
produced cheaply on a massive scale and programmed instantly and remotely.
Also, they require no training, accommodation, or compensation like human
soldiers. So, what kind of drones are used in today’s warfare?
