Drones are playing an increasingly important role in theaters of war, whether in scouting terrain, dropping explosives or destroying critical infrastructure. But these flying machines can also be very useful for helping isolated people.
Kamikaze drones played a very important role in the latest Russian offensive. On October 13, these flying machines indeed struck Makariv, in the kyiv region, but also the Odessa region, causing serious damage to several energy installations.
This asymmetrical weapon also makes it possible, with relatively few means, to reverse a situation. This is the meaning of the United 24 appeal launched by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who wants to equip his country with as many drones as possible. The objective is, among other things, to secure the more than 2,400 kilometers of common border with Russia.
Drones can also be very useful in the event of an emergency by making it possible to anticipate the progression of fires, to check the practicability of a road or even to deliver medical equipment. Mastering this technology becomes an issue of technological sovereignty.
