The skies over the Ukrainian battlefields are buzzing with a new kind of danger. Cheap, commercially available drones, once the domain of hobbyists and photographers, have been repurposed into deadly weapons of war, raining down grenades, mines, and terror onto unsuspecting soldiers below. Videos circulating online show the brutal effectiveness of these DIY weapons, from Hamas drones crippling Israeli Merkava tanks to Ukrainian forces dropping TM-62 anti-tank mines onto advancing Russian columns. This isn’t science fiction; this is the new face of war, where ingenuity and adaptation can tip the scales of battle. As someone who’s experienced the unforgiving realities of combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, I can tell you firsthand that the threat from above is nothing new. But the accessibility and adaptability of drone technology brings a whole new level of complexity and danger to the modern battlefield.
