There has been a huge increase in the use of weaponized civilian drones. It started on an amateur basis in 2022 but has multiplied through 2023.
Both sides are doing it but it seems Ukraine is now using them in vast numbers. They are expendable munitions.
I was recently told of reports that Ukraine planned to produce 1 million small drones mostly for military use.mmThey have been very creative with their use of military done capabilities.
