TL;DR Summary

Ukrainian soldiers are modifying commercially-available drones to carry explosives and attack Russian tanks and trenches. The drones, which cost around $300, have been used effectively by the 35th Marine Brigade to destroy enemy tanks and heavy military equipment. The soldiers claim that the drones are not vulnerable to Russian jamming systems and are airborne for such a short period of time before detonating that radio electronic interference is also ineffective. Ukraine is expanding its drone programme for both reconnaissance and attacking enemy targets in order to narrow the gap between its military capabilities and those of Russia.
