Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelensky, has announced plans for the country's armed forces to have a million drones by 2024, outnumbering the number of soldiers. Drones have already played a significant role in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, with small consumer drones being used for scouting, directing artillery fire, and dropping grenades. The use of drones has been successful in Ukraine's defense, and their deployment has been facilitated by their low cost and off-the-shelf availability. The US Department of Defense is also looking to replicate Ukraine's success with a project called Replicator. The use of drones in warfare is expected to increase in future conflicts.
