One of the most important features of the recent war in Ukraine is the use of drones by both parties in the conflict, and at first it was one of the biggest surprises the Russians encountered. The creative use of drones by the Ukrainian military.
They have used all kinds of drones. Many of civil origin to watch over the enemy troops, and with some of them also launch explosive charges at them with the destruction of material and many battle tanks.
They have also used very simple and cheap military drones of Turkish origin. And so for little money they could carry out remote air strikes.
Until now in no other war have we had so many types of drones being used by both sides, and it has been shown that even the simplest can be quite efficient when used creatively.
And what is more important is that many drones are less expensive than the combat system necessary to shoot them down. Something that does not happen with combat aircraft, and that completely changes the current and future military situation.
For some time it has been said that drones are the air force of the poor, and in Ukraine it has been clearly demonstrated, so in the future wars will be different, and drones will be used extensively.
All new technologies produce changes, and the appearance of drones has modified the operations of many businesses, and of course also of war, which can be carried out at a greater distance and with less participation of people.
What hasn't changed is the stupidity of the war itself, as its negativity and self-destructive nature is continually demonstrated, as all participants lose in some way.
When this war ends, and hopefully it will be soon, both Russia and the Ukraine will have lost a lot, and even neighboring countries such as Europe will have to pay a not inconsiderable share of the damage caused.
Didn't Mr. Putin know that when he started it? Sure, but ambitions trump common sense. We are that stupid.
