The Ukraine War has gone on for so long that one can draw important lessons about modern warfare. One of those lessons is about the ongoing utility of artillery in the 21st Century, even in the face of rapid technological advances in kamikaze drones.
Why Ukraine Relies So Heavily on Kamikaze Drones
Artillery is probably the most lethal weapon in Ukraine, but drones are quickly catching up. One-way attack unmanned aerial systems, also known as loitering munitions or kamikaze drones, account for an increasingly larger number of casualties on the battlefield.
Casualties from kamikaze drones are now as high as 80 percent for both sides, according to Latvia’s intelligence services. Moreover, in the past five months, Ukrainian kamikaze drones have hit 44,610 Russian troops, killing 24,731 and wounding 19,879, per official Ukrainian military data.
