🚁 Drone Warfare in Ukraine

Ukraine has become the global proving ground for drone warfare at unprecedented scale. This section covers all categories of unmanned aerial systems deployed in the conflict: FPV kamikaze drones used in thousands of daily attacks, the Shahed-136 loitering munitions that Russia deploys in mass swarms, Ukrainian long-range strike drones hitting targets deep inside Russia, naval uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs) that have crippled Russia's Black Sea Fleet, and advanced reconnaissance platforms using AI-assisted targeting. Analysis covers drone production economics (FPV drones at $300-500 each vs. $1M+ missiles), electronic warfare jamming and counter-drone systems, the emergence of drone-on-drone aerial combat, and how drone warfare has fundamentally changed infantry tactics, logistics, and battlefield surveillance. Ukraine's drone industry has become a strategic asset, producing tens of thousands of FPV drones monthly from domestic manufacturers.
