Armies Need Their Own Drone Air Force Flown By Specialist Soldiers, Study Says

A Ukrainian soldier from the battalion of unmanned attack air systems "Achilles" of the 92nd Separate Assault Brigade prepares the "Vampir" night drone for an operation near the town of Chasiv Yar, Donetsk region, on April 22, 2024.Anatolii Stepanov/Getty ImagesDrone warfare is changing fast and demands battalions of specialists to fully exploit its potential.The group would fly support drones to increase the effectiveness of its attack and spy drones.The air war in Ukraine has become a cat-and-mouse game where drones must constantly evolve.Experience in Ukraine suggests that armies should concentrate drones in special battalions that have the skills pilots to fly them and the programmers to rapidly adapt to constant jamming, according to British defense experts.Ukrainian data shows "the efficiency of [Unmanned Aerial Vehicle] operations when conducted by a dedicated formation has risen from 10 percent up to 70 percent for some mission sets," according to a report by the Royal United Services Institute, a British think tank.
