From tanks to drones: Ukraine's drone war is redefining Germany's battlefield strategy

Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine has radically reshaped modern warfare. "In the past year, I've seen one tank on the battlefield," said Corporal Dmytro Zhluktenko, who is responsible for analysing combat lessons within the 413th Unmanned Systems Regiment "RAID" of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

"When you speak with the German military, they say: you need these tanks because they are the most important thing in war. We don't think so, as warfare has changed so much since 2022, to the extent that old approaches will not work. Drones can be bought at the last moment, as the technology is continuously changing," Zhluktenko said during a press briefing organised by the German-Ukrainian Bureau in Berlin.
