The war being waged in Ukraine is like no other before it. For the first time in the history of armed conflict, the lion's share of battlefield losses - both human and hardware - cannot be attributed to the use of artillery, aviation, armoured forces, long-range missiles or infantry small-arms fire. Instead, bragging rights belong to a capability that, until only recently, was considered a niche military asset, but now appears in myriad forms and sizes and monopolises the battlespace. Warfare's 'most improved player' is, of course, the drone. A first-hand, frontline account of the evolution of unmanned systems during the Russia-Ukraine War, 'Rise of the Machines' charts the technology's rapid ascension through the author's journey from volunteering to fight to advising the Ukrainian High Command on the deployment of drone forces.
