• Some analysts claim that drones have reshaped war, yielding not just tactical-level effects, but shaping operational and strategic outcomes as well.
• It’s important to distinguish between these different levels of war.
• The strategic level of war relates to the way these military objectives combine to secure political aims, especially ending a war.

Drone warfare in Ukraine

• The drone war in Ukraine is evolving in ways that differ from how other countries, especially the United States, use UAVs.
• Unlike this pattern of “over-the-horizon” strikes, Ukraine and Russia use drones during an internationally recognized conflict that is bounded by their borders.
• Second, the U.S. operates armed and networked drones, such as the Reaper, the world’s most advanced drone.
• Ukraine has also operated Turkish-manufactured TB-2 Bayraktar drones – the “Toyota Corolla” of drones.

• It has also expanded the domestic production of drones, such as the Orion-10, used for surveillance, and the Lancet, used for attacks.
• Third, the U.S. uses drones to strike what it designates as high-value targets, including senior-level personnel in terrorist organizations.
• Ukraine and Russia use their drones for a broader set of tactical, operational and strategic purposes.

Tactical effects

• Drones have had the biggest impact at the tactical level of war, which characterizes battles between Ukrainian and Russian forces.
• It did so by destroying slow-moving vehicles that stretched nearly 50 miles, causing Russia to abandon its advance.
• It also spoofs this link by creating a false signal that disorients Ukrainian drones, causing them to crash.
• This includes going “back to the future” by adopting terrain-based navigation, though this is less reliable than satellite-based navigation.

Operational limitations

• Drones have been less successful at the operational level of war, which is designed to integrate battles into campaigns that achieve broader military objectives.
• In spring 2022, Ukraine used a TB-2, along with other capabilities, to sink Russia’s flagship ship — the Moskva — in the Black Sea.
• Since then, Ukrainian officials claim to have destroyed 15 additional Russian ships, as well as damaged 12 more.

Strategic myths

• Drones have not, and are not likely to, shape the outcome of the war in Ukraine.
• They have not allowed Ukraine to break its stalemate with Russia, nor have they encouraged Russia to end its occupation of Ukraine.
• Russia and Ukraine use drones to terrorize each other’s citizens as well as generate propaganda to stiffen their own citizens’ resolve.

• This led to an unexpected loss of visual reference to the horizon, also known as inadvertent flight into instrument meteorological conditions (inadvertent IMC).
• While the pilot was likely attempting to visually manoeuvre the helicopter in response to inadvertent flight into IMC, an unintentional descent resulted in the helicopter colliding with terrain.
• "For more than 30 years, the TSB has been calling for the implementation of safety measures to mitigate the risks that persist in helicopter reduced visibility operations.''
