In recent months, Ukrainian heavy bomber drones, commonly known as Baba Yaga, are playing a growing role in the Russia-Ukraine War due as battlefield conditions evolve.

LONDON -- At least seven people were killed and 39 injured in Ukraine after Russia and Ukraine exchanged hundreds of long-range drone strikes Wednesday night into Thursday morning, according to Ukrainian officials.

Western militaries are looking at interceptor drones — proven in combat in Ukraine — as an ideal low-cost air defense.

Both Russia and Ukraine are innovating methods to deploy ground robots for assault missions, engineering tasks, and coordination with air-based drones.

As it tried to demonstrate its continuing ability to fight, Ukraine said it had used drones to inflict serious damage on a Russian Kilo-class submarine at a Black Sea port.
