The article analyses the genesis, formation and further development of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles for military purposes. Prospects for the use of unmanned aerial vehicles in modern wars and military conflicts are considered. Their impact on the formation of the theatre of future military operations and enhancement of the potential combat capabilities of formations, units and subunits of the security and defence forces of Ukraine is investigated.
The russian-Ukrainian war is often called the first drone war. The use of drones in modern wars and military conflicts demonstrates their growing role and impact on the tactical and strategic aspects of warfare. They are changing the rules of the game on the battlefield, performing tasks ranging from reconnaissance missions to targeted strikes, which help reduce risks to the lives of military personnel, preserve military and special equipment, and increase the efficiency of combat operations.
Military experts argue that although these unmanned aerial vehicles do not fully compensate for the urgent need for shells and military equipment, they can create a new dynamic on the battlefield.
