These drones, modified for aerial interception and funded by donors as part of an improvised air defense network project, primarily target Russian spy UAVs.
Ukrainian forces are increasingly resorting to kamikaze drones as a cost-effective solution to combat reconnaissance drones, which play a crucial role in Russian artillery and airstrikes.
Russia’s reliance on reconnaissance drones to guide artillery and missile attacks means that the loss of these aircraft undermines the effectiveness of coordinated strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure and military positions.
This underscores the growing importance of UAVs in modern warfare, not only for reconnaissance but also for direct air defense roles.
