Israel and Ukraine have used drones against their adversaries in audacious ways that have helped the Pentagon see the need for new technology.

Kyiv has rapidly developed a formidable arsenal of indigenously manufactured drones in response to Russia’s invasion, allowing it to inflict heavy damage on Moscow.

Ukraine is fighting back against Russia with robots. An operator said they put the robots together differently depending on how they want to use them.

Drone warfare between Russia and Ukraine grows more varied and deadly. That means the infantry must adapt. Inside a storied Ukrainian brigade.

A senior Ukrainian security officer was gunned down in a residential parking lot in Kyiv on Thursday before his assailant fled on foot in broad daylight, according to authorities and video footage verified by Reuters.

On June 1, using hundreds of short-range one-way attack drones smuggled deep into Russian territory, Ukraine was able to significantly damage or destroy at least 11 Russian strategic bombers as part of its Operation Spider’s Web.

Ukraine has stabilised the lines around Pokrovsk since the turn of the year. The Russian army, blocked at the entrance to the city, is attempting a pincer movement. Magyar’s Birds, one of Ukraine’s elite drone units, has helped to slow their advances by picking off troops and supply lines up to 20km (12.4 miles) behind the front.

Hours after Pres. Trump railed against Vladimir Putin, saying "he’s very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless," Russia unleashed more than 700 drones into Ukraine.
