"The use of drones in the Russia-Ukraine war has revolutionised an industry of death and destruction. The rapid development of drone technology has changed how wars are fought. Ukraine's growing arsenal of drones has strengthened its chances against an overpowering Russian military force. As tech companies are investing in this new technology of death and destruction, what will the Ukraine war's legacy of drone warfare look like, even after a peace deal?"

Drone technology has rapidly advanced and reshaped combat by enabling low-cost, precise, and scalable strike and reconnaissance capabilities. Ukraine's expanding drone arsenal has offset some conventional disadvantages and increased survivability and operational flexibility against larger forces. Commercial firms and hobbyist markets have lowered barriers to entry, accelerating proliferation and innovation in payloads, autonomy, and swarm tactics. Investment by tech companies and battlefield demand spurs rapid iteration, creating dual-use platforms that civilian markets and state actors can adapt. Post-conflict, abundant experience, supply chains, and commercial investment will leave a durable legacy of more accessible, lethal unmanned systems, complicating arms control and civilian security.
