The Ukraine war was never supposed to last this long. When Russia launched its full-scale invasion, many experts predicted Kyiv would fall within days. More than four years later, the war has turned into a brutal stalemate and drones are changing everything. With Western support and rapidly evolving drone warfare, Ukraine is holding the line against Russia. Cheap, mass-produced unmanned systems now dominate the battlefield, shaping strategy, targeting, and even preventing major breakthroughs.

At the same time, Russia continues its devastating air campaign, launching waves of missiles and drones against Ukrainian cities like Kyiv - causing massive destruction and civilian casualties.
