Israel and Ukraine have used drones against their adversaries in audacious ways that have helped the Pentagon see the need for new technology.

Russia has recently sought to overwhelm Ukraine’s air defenses with major attacks that include increasing numbers of decoy drones.

Unknown drones attacked the temporarily occupied towns of Svatove and Starobilsk in the Luhansk region on Tuesday, July 8, according to Roman Vlasenko, head of the Siverskodonetsk District Military Administration.

KYIV, Ukraine -- Russia fired more than 100 drones at civilian areas of Ukraine overnight, authorities said Monday, as the Kremlin dismissed the country’s transport chief after a weekend of travel chaos when Russian airports grounded hundreds of flights due to the threat of Ukrainian drone attacks.
