The changing face of modern warfare: How 'cheap' drones are moving the Ukraine war from the trenches to city skyscrapers - and could be pivotal in Kyiv's fight to defeat Putin
Ukraine has warned Vladimir Putin that more drone attacks coming -- just hours after a flying bot smashed into one of Moscow's skyscrapers for the second time in as many days. Although Kyiv refuses to officially take responsibility for such attacks inside Russia, this latest skirmish is considered to be part of a wider offensive aimed at shifting the focus of the conflict to the Kremlin's doorstep. Experts say the way Kyiv is looking to do this is with the help of drones in the air and by sea -- a'cheap', expendable technology which has been revolutionising modern warfare over the past two decades. It is certainly turning attention from the First World War-style trench warfare that has been raging throughout Ukraine since the conflict broke out - and there's a reason the rest of the world is watching. Here, MailOnline looks at how drones are changing the face of future conflict, and why Ukraine is ratcheting up the use of them in an attempt to win the propaganda war and turn the tide of Putin's invasion.
