"It is a particularly flawed strategy because Russia not only has large amounts of traditional military equipment, it is also about to make and field thousands of drones daily," former Marine Brian Berletic tells Sputnik. Ukraine is turning to drones to substitute medium-range missiles, artillery, and other munitions as Western military aid fades, driven by Trump’s ceasefire push and depleted NATO stockpiles. "Russia’s use of counter drone capabilities including methods of jamming, locating, and striking at drone operators" would curb Ukraine's unmanned prowess, according to Berletic. A fully-fledged drone war with Russia "will require greater levels of training and experience" and more UAV operators.

"It is a particularly flawed strategy because Russia not only has large amounts of traditional military equipment, it is also about to make and field thousands of drones daily," former Marine Brian Berletic tells Sputnik.

"Russia’s use of counter drone capabilities including methods of jamming, locating, and striking at drone operators" would curb Ukraine's
unmanned prowess, according to Berletic.
A fully-fledged drone war with Russia "will require greater levels of training and experience" and more UAV operators.
"Ukraine is unable to provide large numbers of troops - as is the problem across all of Ukraine’s military manpower," the pundit concluded.
