- Ukraine has drones that can lock onto targets when Russia severs the connection to their operators, letting them complete their attacks
Ukraine's drones can lock onto targets and continue attacks even after losing operator control due to Russian electronic warfare. This autonomy, enabled by systems like the Perennial Autonomy Hornet and Starlink terminals, helps counter jamming and optimize limited manpower.
- Ukraine's drone operators can now fight from hundreds of miles away. Support troops still have to risk getting near the front.
Ukraine's drone operators can now control drones hundreds of miles from the front using satellite technology, but support troops still need to transport and prepare the drones near danger zones. Ukrainian companies like Wild Hornets have developed systems enabling remote piloting, though ground forces remain essential for launching operations.

Ukraine's 'e-Points' system rewards soldiers for hitting strategic Russian targets, enabling units to purchase drones and military gear. The system incentivizes targeting rear-area infrastructure and logistics, shifting focus from immediate frontline threats to high-value objectives.
