Former UK Prime Minister Sunak wrote today: "Last week, President Zelenskyy showed me the real-time battlefield situation on his iPad. 80% of the casualties inflicted on the other side by Ukraine were caused by drones."
The world has changed.
Defense models have changed.
The nature of warfare has also changed.
We must adapt quickly."
Comments: Sunak's remarks point out the reality that modern warfare has become drone-based. Ukraine's use of low-cost drones to achieve 80% of the killing effect marks the end of an era dominated by traditional heavy equipment. This is both a summary of the form of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and an emphasis to the world that future military superiority will not only be determined by scale and firepower, but also by intelligent, low-cost, and distributed unmanned combat systems.
