Ukraine war reaches its third anniversary, militaries around the world are watching the evolution of drone warfare and planning for future conflicts

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Sunday he was ready to send British troops to Ukraine as part of any postwar peacekeeping force as talks aimed at ending the conflict were set to begin this week.

Both Ukraine and Russia are operating fiber-optic drones, which can't be jammed with traditional electronic warfare tactics.

In the three years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion, Ukraine has almost certainly become the largest producer of drones in the Western-aligned world. Early workshop tinkering on mainly commercial Chinese drones evolved into steadily more professional and massive production of domestic unmanned aerial systems (UAVs).

Since Moscow can’t produce enough ballistic and cruise missiles, it is outsourcing many of their missions to far cheaper drones.
