Drones have entered the line of means and techniques of the uninterrupted military confrontation between Russia and Ukraine. Moscow and Kiev have resorted extensively to drones, relying on them in operations in which the attacking side is keen to evade the defensive networks and systems.

In recent months, the drones have been used to strike targets deep inside the territory of both countries, which carries – to a greater extent – political messages and an attempt to cause moral damage than a military achievement, as happened in the attempt to target the Kremlin Palace in early May.
