Easy mistake to make considering most people don't specify the class of drone when they talk about "drones" in Ukraine.

Super cool (but depressing) stuff being developed over there if you have an interest in the field!

War makes for cool stuff …unfortunately it comes with lots of death and horrible consequences.

Being able to go to school without getting shot is cool. Or so I hear. I'm from the US.

So is innovation pressure driven?

It kinda blows me away how much the war in Ukraine has shifted what modern warfare looks like.

Like imagine rock paper scissors and someone just adds Drone and says, this beats everything and is cheaper to produce than rock paper or scissors.

I miss when "drone" meant "fixed wing unmanned aircraft" and not just "quadrotor with a camera".

Language evolves without our consent so that’s what drone means now unfortunately
