How drones draw the war of the future

Until then used as suicide bomber weapons, Ukrainian drones have been used to shoot the enemy using assault rifles. A new way of approaching the conflict.

Posted in early January by the Ukrainian group Winchester, they highlight the shots of a drone on a soldier, probably Russian or North Korean, says Forbes. Until then, the drones used by Ukrainians aimed at enemy quadricopters. But for the first time, they targeted, using an assault rifle, a soldier walking along a road. Nothing indicates if the soldier died or if he fell to dodge, but this kind of use rebatted the cards in the war between Ukraine to Russia. Well? Because so far, FPV quadricopters had only one single use. With a grenade or an warhead, they were used in a suicide biker, rushing on the target before destroying it. A solution ultimately relatively inexpensive. This new use could make these drones more versatile and allow Ukraine to increase its strikes and especially to attack several times without being sacrificed, specifies Science & Life.

Each month, kyiv produces around 100,000 drones. However, with reusable weapons, this would open up new perspectives. On the other hand, this kind of drone has drawbacks. As Forbes evokes, it was necessary to shoot several times to reach the Russian target. Placed too far, the drone is imprecise. However if he has to get closer, he is exposed and could be vulnerable to the weapon of an opposing soldier. The other challenge is logistics, in particular because after having fired, it must be recovered and possibly repairing it if it is damaged, indicate our colleagues of science & life. Even if it means asking ethical questions? This could indeed open the door to an autonomous arms race. If the use of these drones is only in its infancy, they could draw the war of the future. At a time when the United States has decided to take a break in its military financial assistance, kyiv could turn to other solutions to resist the Russian enemy.
