Abstract

The Russian-Ukrainian war proved that one of the defining elements of modern warfare is aerial warfare fought with drones. After the initial Ukrainian Bayraktar successes, Russia striked the hinterland with a cheap Iranian drone system. Considering the peculiarities of the topic and the lack of scientific publications, the author turned to open source information acquisition (Open Source Intelligence – OSINT) methods in his study. Based on the articles and pictures published in the electronic press, it analyzes the data and presents information and compares the types.
