Ukraine War: Innovations in Drone Technology
The Russian war machine, concerning conventional armed forces, is not an infantry force but a heavy-focus artillery military.
They have always been primarily an artillery-led military, and the Ukrainians, sadly, currently cannot match the Russians in artillery and artillery shells.
Currently, the Ukrainians only have 350 artillery pieces compared to Russia, which, according to the Royal United Services Institute, a think tank in London, had just under 5,000 artillery pieces in the field in February 2024.
According to Pavel Luzin of the Centre for European Policy Analysis, a think tank, Russia produces about 50 artillery gun barrels a year.
With this massive disparity in military equipment, Ukrainians have had no choice but to be innovative and think outside the box.
This led to the development of Ukrainian robotics and drone technologies, which are quickly becoming some of the best in the world out of necessity.
What Ukrainians have been able to accomplish against the Russian war machine is something truly remarkable and shows the Russians to be a paper tiger who cannot even manage to win against a nation such as Ukraine.
This shows that Western European countries would wipe the floor with Russia.
