COUNTERING MODERN DRONES IN ARMED CONFLICTS
Abstract
The article examines the growing role of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in modern armed conflicts and analyzes the main methods of countering them. Particular attention is paid to the evolution of combat drones, their tactical and strategic application, as well as technical, organizational, and tactical measures to counter unmanned threats. Based on confirmed examples from the conflict in Ukraine and the Middle East region, it is shown that drones have significantly changed the nature of combat operations and have had a substantial impact on the security of both military personnel and the civilian population. The conclusion considers the prospects for the development of counter-drone technologies and their significance for future conflicts.
