7 Ways Drone Technology Changes Modern Warfare

Unmanned drones are changing the future of modern warfare, allowing faster and more targeted lethal combat.

Wars in Ukraine and the Middle East are proving that, The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday.

Even the Hamas terrorist strike Oct. 7 began with strikes from rag-tag drone technology on Israel's border security posts. Also, the Houthi rebels are terrorizing ships in the Red Sea with drones.

The low-scale technology is a cheaper alternative to high-tech missiles and is causing major militaries like that of the U.S. to adapt and respond.

The Journal broke down seven ways drones are changing modern warfare:

1. Expanding the battlefield to increase sight lines and lines of fire from a safe distance.
2. Maintain nonstop barrages that humans cannot sustain.
3. Exponentially expand forces, delegating tasks like surveillance to reduce burden on humans.
4. Reduce costs with mass-produced tech.
5. Reduce reliance on expensive larger missiles.
6. Reduce accidental strikes with more targeted and precision attacks.
7. Swarming targets without human cost, potentially operating with artificial intelligence.
