“Drones Are Changing How Wars Are Fought”
“Uncrewed vehicles make combat faster, cheaper and smarter, as shown in Ukraine’s fight against Russia and Houthi attacks in the Red Sea”
“Drones are transforming warfare, from Red Square to the Red Sea.
Over the past decade, uncrewed aerial vehicles—and recently naval vessels—have put increasingly lethal and effective military equipment in the hands of insurgent groups such as Islamic State, Yemen’s Houthi rebels and underdogs like the Ukrainian military. Kyiv used drones to slow Russia’s invasion in 2022 and later sent longer-range UAVs to hit targets as far away as Moscow.
When Hamas struck Israel on Oct. 7, its attack began with strikes from hobbyist drones on Israeli surveillance posts. The Iran-backed Houthis are using drones to target Red Sea shipping lanes.
The question for the U.S. and its allies now is how to defend against cheap drones without using expensive missiles.”
