Footage recorded by a Ukrainian drone pilot captures intense scenes of combat with Russian forces during the recent Battle of Dmytrivka in the outskirts of Kyiv.
For a long time now, Will and I have been warning military super powers about the dangers of commercial drones on the battlefield. We've watched the evolution of these machines quite a bit over the last decade, and have seen them used with great impact. Ever since we saw our first piece of drone combat footage in Syria, we've been warning military super powers and predicting that future wars will be fought not with reconnaissance troops deep behind enemy lines, but with commercial drones.
Judging by the proximity of commercial drones to Russian forces throughout the war in Ukraine, it's safe to say that they took absolutely zero precautions that would lead to their troops being able to defeat the commercial drone threat.
