Evolving Drone and Counter-Drone Strategies for Future Warfare

Ukrainians are using new drone and counter-drone strategies to blunt Russian offensive. Ukraine is targeting the radio-jammers the Russians use to ground Ukrainian drones while setting up their own jammers to ground Russian drones.

Russia attacked Avdiivka with masses of tanks and infantry. This cost Russia a lot of losses in the range of 17000 casualties over a month or two. Russians then tried to use explosive first-person-view drones, some outfitted for night flights, to attack supply lines in the hope of strangling the garrison and forcing it to withdraw.

Small, explosives-laden drones steadily have become some of the most dangerous weapons in the Russia-Ukraine war. Electronic defenses against these drones and other larger spy and attack drones have become critical.

Many of Ukraine’s radio-jammers have come from the United States, most recently in September as part of a $600-million aid package.

Ukraine adopted the jam first strategy in the summer.

Taiwan is building out a fleet of thousands of drones.

Taiwan is fast-tracking the creation of a self-sufficient drone supply chain. China currently has the lead in drone production and dominates the commercial drone industry.
