More than three years since the full-scale Russian invasion of
Ukraine, warfare has been transformed by drones. Reports have
stated that 70 percent of combat casualties in the war in Ukraine
are now caused by drones, while the British security think tank
RUSI calculates drones account for 60 to 70 percent of damaged and
destroyed Russian systems. Ukraine, forced to innovate to hold off
Russian forces, claims to be capable of making 4 million drones
this year, Russia says it made 1.4 million in 2024 – using them,
along with Iranian made systems, on the battlefield and in near
constant attacks on Ukrainian cities and civilian
infrastructure. To discuss the ethics, capabilities and
impact of drones on the way humans fight, Gavin Esler is joined by
Dr Ulrike Franke, senior fellow at the European Council on Foreign
Relations. • This episode of This Is Not A Drill is supported by
