Ukraine war: Australian-made cardboard drones used to attack Russian airfield show how innovation is key to modern warfare

Thursday, August 31, 2023

Recent use of low-cost cardboard drones by Ukraine, supplied by Australia, to attack targets in Russia is a good example of how this can work.

Key Points: 
  • Recent use of low-cost cardboard drones by Ukraine, supplied by Australia, to attack targets in Russia is a good example of how this can work.
  • This circular relationship driven by innovation is often critical in warfare as it can provide key technological advances.
  • Ukrainian forces reportedly used the PDDS cardboard drones in an attack on an airfield in Kursk Oblast in western Russia on August 27.

Design principles

    • The design principles behind the success of the drones revolve around several factors including the production cost, airframe material, weight, payload, range, deployment and ease of use.
    • Other considerations include the reliability of the operating software and the ability to fly the drone in various weather conditions.
    • In some cases, the design of small drones is concentrated on adapting the payloads to carry different types of munitions, as seen in the attack in Kursk.

Low-tech material, hi-tech thinking

    • Cardboard is generally harder to detect by radar – but its components, such as the battery, can be detected.
    • Swarms of drones can overpower air defence systems through sheer volume and or can be used as decoys in counterintelligence operations.
    • It is likely that small drones at low cost are likely to have further mission success in the future.
