Cheap Combat Drones Reshape The Russia Ukraine War, Become The Global Norm | Operation Spider’s Web

Ukraine’s Operation Spider’s Web, which targeted Russian air bases as far away as Irkutsk, in eastern Siberia, deployed a total of 117 kamikaze drones. Each of them costs around $400-$1200 to produce. And they destroyed Russian aircraft worth billions. By Ukraine’s count, that would make this operation one of the most efficient in the history of warfare. Ukraine’s strategy challenges traditional understandings of warfare that prioritize numbers and firepower. Instead, it highlights how agility, innovation, and strategic patience can level the playing field. n18oc_world n18oc_crux
