The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has highlighted the increasing role of drones in modern warfare, prompting NATO allies like Finland and Poland to adapt their military strategies. With insights from commanders, it’s noted that drones enhance battlefield transparency, complicating troop assembly and necessitating new training measures focused on mobility, concealment, and counter-drone tactics. Soldiers are now trained to respond quickly to drone sounds, conducting immediate air-cover procedures. Learning from the Ukrainian war, military leaders are evolving their operational methods to ensure troop safety amidst the evolving threats posed by uncrewed aerial systems.
"You find shelter, you try to disperse yourselves, you try to avoid being detected. Whenever you hear a drone, you cannot know if it's your own or not."
"One of the main lessons from Ukraine is that there is increased transparency on the modern battlefield because of drones, satellites, and other means of surveillance."
