My understanding of drone capabilities in warfare changed dramatically when the Turkish Military built drones that incorporated tons of off the shelf technology. Those Bayraktar drones destroyed around 100 Russian tanks in Syria. There was little publicity and fanfare, but I knew that was a seminal moment for drones. Ukraine is pushing the envelope with its innovations to drones.

Did you hear that Ukraine has started to arm their drones, too?

Ukraine needs drones capable of being more than one and done weapons systems because it has a minimal Air Force. There is a dire need for drones capable of loitering time for CAS missions. Germany had a solution for battles seen in Ukraine with extensive no man's land: Blitzkrieg. Go through, around, and over enemy forces with combined arms tactics.
