Since the outbreak of the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine for 450 days, the Ukrainian fleet of small combat drones has become larger and larger. Soldiers and civilians are being trained to operate and maintain various professional and modified civilian drones. These small quadcopters help to fill the gap between large military drones and frontline soldiers. These drones can be used as reconnaissance tools, as artillery calibrators, and as "patrol missiles" or "suicide drones" to throw grenades at enemy positions or directly hit targets and detonate them. The Russian army also used similar drones, prompting the two sides to establish anti-UAV tactics.
