However, others criticized the Ukrainian military for resorting to what they saw as primitive tactics against modern weaponry.

Drones have emerged as crucial assets in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. In April of this year, Ukraine established its Unmanned Systems Forces, a specialized military branch focused on drone warfare. Colonel Vadym Sukharevskyi was appointed as its commander.

Initially utilized for reconnaissance and grenade delivery, DJI Mavic drones have evolved to include first-person view capabilities for engaging enemy personnel and vehicles. The Ukrainian Ministry of Defence has emphasized the strategic role of drones in augmenting Ukraine's defense capabilities amidst a challenging landscape of limited heavy weaponry and aircraft.

Over the past two years, Ukraine has developed a diverse array of aerial, land, and maritime drones to bolster its defensive capabilities against Russian forces. This technological adaptation underscores Ukraine's innovative approach to warfare in the face of significant military challenges.
