Since the start of the special military operation, Russian forces have been using various types of drones on a massive scale. They range from low-cost FPV kamikaze drones to high-tech systems like the Lancet and the Geran.
Right now, “Ukrainian frontline soldiers are in greater danger than” at the beginning of the conflict, Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrsky told German media.
He pointed to “technological advances in drone construction,” which he said means that “the so-called death zone, where Ukrainian soldiers are particularly at risk along the 1,200-km front, now extends to a depth of 20 km.”
