Overview

First-person-view racing drones repurposed as one-way strike weapons by both sides of the Russia-Ukraine war, typically carrying an RPG warhead or a small shaped charge. Cheap, mass-produced and effective against armour, soft vehicles and infantry; their use has fundamentally changed the small-unit tactical environment.
