transformed the battlefield.
The Army’s 10 active-duty divisions would shift
heavily into unmanned aircraft if the plan is
carried out, using them for surveillance, to

Russia, U.S. officers have debriefed its
military personnel and consulted contractors who
have worked with the Kyiv’s military about their
innovative use of drones.
“We’ve got to learn how to use drones, how to
fight with them, how to scale them, produce them,
and employ them in our fights so we can see

Army, but it has been very few.”
