Ukraine’s Next-Generation Drone Fleet Is Packed With Upgrades

Ukraine’s effective use of drones was one of the revelations of the first year of the war, from Bayraktar TB2s hitting Russian convoys to quadcopter scouts to long-range loitering munitions, multicopter bombers and FPV kamikaze racing drones. Most significantly, drone artillery spotters have found targets and adjusted aim, multiplying Ukraine’s firepower, erasing Russia’s advantage in artillery and halting new advances. Ukraine is now committed to building an Army of Drones, putting more robots and fewer humans in the front lines. And in the second year of the war, Ukraine’s drone forces are getting upgrades in capability as well as numbers.
