as posted by the channel

At the start of its invasion of Ukraine, the Russian military lagged behind Kyiv in its use of low-cost explosive drones. But by mid 2023, Russian UAVs were targeting Ukrainian forces, copying some of Kyiv’s most successful tactics. In response to Ukraine’s counteroffensive, Russia has been increasingly producing Lancet drones, which explode when they hit targets from armored vehicles to groups of infantry.

WSJ explains how Moscow is building up its arsenal of low-cost explosive drones.
