In Ukraine, humanitarian drones can save lives

Al Jazeera

Since Russia's invasion began, Ukraine's allies have been sending UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) assistance. A crucial component of the war, the usage of drones is complex in legal and technical terms. But as UAVs have continued to change modern warfare, humanitarian drones carry out vital missions in Ukraine to save lives. When the war started on February 24, the non-profit Revived Soldiers Ukraine (RSU) contacted DraganFly, a North American-based drone company, to supply its cutting-edge technology. The base rate for a Draganfly drone is $35,000, but add-ons such as thermal cameras can push costs upward of $80,000.
