Summary/Abstract: The Russia-Ukraine war has demonstrated the increasing importance of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, in modern warfare. Drones have been pivotal in reconnaissance, surveillance, targeting, and direct strikes, altering the tactical and strategic landscape of the conflict. This paper examines the types of drones used by both Russia and Ukraine, their operational roles, technological advancements, and the implications for future warfare. The use of drones in the war illustrates both their capabilities and vulnerabilities, providing lessons for military strategists and policymakers worldwide. The incidents of drones dropping in Romanian territory during the Russia-Ukraine war highlight the complex and often unpredictable nature of modern warfare, where technology, geography and geopolitics intersect in challenging ways. These incidents underscore the risks of escalation and miscalculation in a conflict that already threatens regional and global security.
