Drohnen im Kampfeinsatz – the book

While the worldwide “war on terror” from 2001 onwards has brought military drones into the public consciousness as offensive weapons, the intensification of drone warfare is only a few years old. In part since the fighting against the “Islamic State” from the mid-2010s, but definitely since the war between Azerbaijan and Armenia in 2020 and especially in the war in Ukraine since 2022, the development and use of military drones has increased significantly. At the same time, civilian drones converted into weapon carriers are increasingly part of everyday life on the battlefield.

• The revolution on the modern battlefield
• From the well-known Predator to the converted toy drone
• Analysis and evaluation of recent missions with a forecast for the future
• How they work and the technology explained by an expert
