Drones and ISIS Combat

While the United States, Russia, and other countries want to use more modern aircraft, Ukraine does not have the same resources to train its soldiers on these aircraft. The Ukrainians may have been trained in Western countries on vehicles and aircraft but they do not have the same training for drones. Ukrainians are used to using older equipment like trucks, and drones are easier to use for them. In addition, drones do not require "pilots," making them easy for soldiers to use. Drones also have an easy to use interface, much like those found in video games.

Aerorozvidka

Ukrainian military uses unique tactics to defeat ISIS in the east: octocopters fitted with thermal cameras that can carry out nighttime missions. Some drones have anti-tank weapons, and can light up columns. These drones are highly maneuverable and can carry as much as 11 lbs of payload. They are small enough to fly low above targets and drop munitions.

Aerorozvidka began as an IT enthusiast group. It has since evolved into a military air reconnaissance unit. Aerorozvidka began as a civilian drone company. However, the organization grew to become a fully fledged unit with its own head. Because of export control, the Ukrainian government prevented Russian military planes from entering the country. Aerorozvidka is dependent on crowdfunding and donations to support its operations, since many components of drones are made in the US.

Switchblade

The U.S. military has supplied Ukraine with armed "Switchblade," drones capable of striking Russian tanks from faraway. These unmanned aircraft vehicles were created by the US Air Force in response a Ukrainian request. John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesperson, stated that more than 120 of these machines are currently being sent to Ukraine. However, there are no details on how the Switchblades might be used in the conflict in Ukraine.

The Switchblade is a small drone with a 40-kilometer range. It can be launched from a tube. The Switchblade can hit Russian convoys from 6 miles away, unlike Bayraktar drones. In a conflict like Ukraine, these small aircraft can be set up in minutes. The Switchblade has a much higher speed than the Bayraktar, the current U.S. allies.


Russian kamikaze drones

Recently, the US announced a $800 million military aid package to Ukraine. The delivery of 121 unmanned aircraft called "Phoenix Ghosts", which is intended to terrorize Russian forces, is part of the package. These aircraft, which are designed to fly over areas for thirty to forty minutes, are equipped with warheads and cameras. The Switchblade is a hovering munition weighing 5.5 pounds that can destroy tanks and armored vehicles.

These small, lightweight aircrafts have a powerful, low flying gimbal that allows them to fly from air, land or sea. In an aerial conflict like this, every advantage an opponent holds over the other side is important. Russian kamikaze-equipped drones are a direct threat. This capability will be crucial to Ukraine's army, as it can break Russian sieges or attack command-and control nodes. These capabilities would be a huge liability for both the sides but a small drone could prove to be an asset on the battlefield. Ukraine may emerge victorious.

U.S. loitering drones

Russia is now integrating ZALA KYB lotering munitions in its military arsenal. These drones can also use lethal loitering weapons in the same manner as bazookas. This could lead to the proliferation these autonomous killing machines on black markets. But experts and observers are worried. So what can the U.S. Do to prevent this?

It's intended mission is to attack the opposition forces in Ukraine.
