Ukraine is strapping rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) to cheap racing drones and using them to attack the Russian frontlines. It’s an effective method of gathering intel, destroying expensive equipment, and controlling the battlefield that represents a fundamental shift in how wars are fought.

In the last few weeks, photos of the makeshift loitering munitions have circulated on Russian and Ukrainian Telegram channels. Footage pulled from the drones that show the attacks has landed on Reddit.
