The History of Drones in Warfare

Drones have become an increasingly popular tool for military reconnaissance in modern warfare. The use of drones in warfare dates back to the early 2000s, when the United States began using them in Afghanistan and Iraq. Since then, drones have become a staple in military operations around the world.

In the Ukraine War, drones have played a crucial role in reconnaissance efforts. The conflict began in 2014, when pro-Russian separatists seized control of the Crimean Peninsula. The conflict quickly escalated, with Ukrainian forces fighting against separatist rebels in the eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk.

Drones have been used extensively by both sides in the conflict.
