Ukraine, the first drone battlefield in history

According to RCO News Agency, in an article referring to the widespread use of drones in the Ukraine war, the American media considered this war the first drone war in history.

The National Interest writes that Russia and Ukraine are using thousands of drones to support their ground forces on an unprecedented scale. In particular, the Russian army has made extensive use of drones on the front lines.

For example, in November, Russian forces flew about 2,300 drones towards the positions of the Ukrainian army. The use of this number of drones in an offensive attack was unprecedented and such cases are gradually increasing.

The British military intelligence agency announced on Monday that in 2024, the number of drones used in the war in Ukraine increased every month. According to this report, these drones, whose firepower ranges from a simple grenade to a variety of missiles, can destroy command centers and even destroy battle tanks.

According to the report of the British Army Intelligence Organization, about 50 to 60 percent of the drones used in September and November of this year were suicide or disposable drones.

National Interest also claimed that North Korean soldiers are fighting with Ukrainian armed forces on the Kursk front, claiming that Ukraine used drones to target these soldiers.

Although the use of drones in war has decreased this month, it seems that this decline was caused by unfavorable weather.

The American publication also claimed that Russia not only received drones from Iran, but also received the training to build these drones from Tehran. Meanwhile, Iranian authorities have repeatedly denied sending drones to Russia.

According to the report of the British military intelligence agency: “Since there is no disruption in the activity of the launch centers or the production of drones, Russia can produce at least 1,500 drones per month. “Russian drones can target all parts of Ukraine, so Russia has time to restore its stockpile of long-range missiles.”

According to National Interest, the war in Ukraine is in many ways the first drone war in history. Although drones have been used in various armed conflicts for several decades, before the Ukraine war, the armies of the two countries had never made such a wide use of drones in war.
