Last week the future arrived twice. Russian soldiers surrendered to Ukrainian drones and a Ukrainian maritime drone launched interceptors to counter a Russian Shahed. Given these two never-before-seen military developments, it’s no surprise that former National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster commented that we have entered a new era of warfare. While the nature of war—a military means to achieve a political end—has not changed, the character of war is changing before our eyes.
There are many new technologies underlying this changing character of war such as the increasing capability of LLMs and a proliferation of sensors from space, but none exemplifies this changing character more than drones. And no conflict has brought this more to the forefront than Ukraine.
