Understanding Drone Warfare in Ukraine

Drone warfare is a complex and nuanced topic with drones used for information gathering, observation and direct attacks. The war in Ukraine has seen an explosion in drone use ranging from small commercial DJI Mavics to military grade drones like the Bayraktar TB-2. In this video I’m joined by author and journalist David Hambling who has been tracking and writing about drone use in Ukraine since the Russian invasion in February 2022.

We discuss the expanding role drones have played in the conflict, how they are deployed and the impact they have. We touch on countermeasures used by both sides, the psychological effect the drones can have and what the future holds for drone use.

Check out David’s book on drones, ‘Swarm Troopers‘.
