Watching the way drones have been used in Ukraine has been fascinating, it's my belief that expendable unmanned drones of all sizes will play a crucial role in future conflicts, both as observation platforms and as munitions.

Ukraine has sunk or damaged a number of warships with their drone boats, and the Bayraktar played a key role in the sinking of the Moskva. They also damaged a number of aircraft far behind enemy lines with Australian made cardboard drones.

We should have a plan on how to use this technology, but even more important is that we have a plan to counter it should it be used against us.
