Although the United States, Russia, as well as other countries, want to use modern aircraft more often, Ukraine lacks the resources necessary to train its troops on these aircraft. The Ukrainians may have been trained in Western countries on vehicles and aircraft but they do not have the same training for drones. Ukrainians are used to using older equipment like trucks, and drones are easier to use for them. Drones are easy to use by soldiers, as they do not require pilots. Drones also have an easy to use interface, much like those found in video games.
Aerorozvidka
Ukrainian military employs a unique method to fight ISIS in eastern Ukraine. They use octocopters that are equipped with thermal cameras for nighttime operations. Some drones are fitted with anti-tank weapons and even have the capability to light up columns. These drones are highly maneuverable and can carry as much as 11 lbs of payload. Small size allows drones to fly low over targets, dropping munitions.
Aerorozvidka began as an IT enthusiast group. It has since evolved into a military air reconnaissance unit. The first mission of the organization was to operate a drone company. But, over time, it became a fully-fledged unit, with its own head. Export controls prevented Russian military aircraft entering Ukraine. Aerorozvidka depends on crowdfunding and donations to keep the company afloat, as many of the drone components are made in the USA.
Switchblade
The U.S. military supplied Ukraine with the armed "Switchblade", drones that are capable of hitting Russian tanks hundreds of miles away. The US Air Force developed these unmanned aerial vehicles in response to Ukrainian needs. John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesperson, stated that more than 120 of these machines are currently being sent to Ukraine. It is unclear how the Switchblades will work in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
The Switchblade is a small drone that is easy to launch from a tube and has a range of 40 kilometers. The Switchblade has a range of 40 kilometers and can hit Russian convoys up to 6 miles, unlike Bayraktar. These small aircraft are easy to set up during conflicts like the Ukraine. The Switchblade is capable of flying much faster than the Bayraktar, which is the current U.S. ally.
Russian kamikaze drones
The US recently announced a military aid package worth $800 million to Ukraine. Part of that package is the delivery of 121 unmanned aircraft, called "Phoenix Ghosts," which are intended to terrorize Russian forces. These aircraft can hover over areas for 30- to 40 minutes and are equipped to carry warheads and cameras. Switchblade, which weighs in at 5.5 pounds and can be used to destroy armored vehicles or tanks, is one such drone.
These small, lightweight aircrafts are equipped with a powerful, low-flying gimbal, allowing them to operate from air, land, or sea. In a conflict like this, any advantage an opponent has over the other side in the aerial battle is important, and the use of Russian kamikaze drones is a direct threat to that advantage. This capability will likely be key to Ukraine's military, as it can easily break Russian sieges and attack command-and-control nodes. Even though such capabilities would pose a serious risk to both sides, Ukraine could win if it can use small drones to make a difference in battle.
U.S. drones loitering
Russia is now integrating ZALA KYB lotering munitions in its military arsenal. These drones are able to use lethal loitering munitions in the manner of bazookas. These autonomous killing devices could spread to black markets through the use of loitering robots. However, observers and pundits worry about this. So what can America do to stop this happening?
Kirby claims that the U.S. government sent more than 121 Switchblade loitering helicopters to Ukraine in order to aid Kiev against Russian forces. The Switchblade drone can hover in a given area for between 30 and 40 minutes. It weighs in at 5.5 pounds. It comes with a camera as well as a small warhead. It's intended mission is to attack the opposition forces in Ukraine.
