From NYT's A Thousand Snipers In The Sky:
"Drones now kill more soldiers and destroy more armored vehicles in Ukraine than all traditional weapons of war combined, including sniper rifles, tanks, howitzers and mortars, Ukrainian commanders and officials say."
"Speeding cars or trucks no longer provide protection from faster-flying drones.
Soldiers hike for miles, ducking into cover, through drone-infested territory too dangerous for jeeps, armored personnel carriers or tanks.
Soldiers say it has become strangely personal, as buzzing robots hunt specific cars or even individual soldiers."
“You can hide from artillery, but drones are a different kind of nightmare.”
"Ukrainian officials said they had made more than one million first-person-view, or FPV, drones in 2024. Russia claims it can churn out 4,000 every day. Both countries say they are still scaling up production, with each aiming to make three to four million drones in 2025."
