Ukraine's "edge" in drones being displayed in the targeted assassination of pedestrians in the largest city in the Donbass, Donetsk, which has been under constant Ukrainian shelling since 2014:

Thanks for posting. The most interesting piece to me is how obvious it is that China is forcing DJI to nerf it's products specifically to make it harder for Ukraine to use them in this conflict.

I expect Ukraine to continue to innovate because they have plenty of technical talent and ingenuity but it would certainly be better if they could continue to use off the shelf consumer parts to counter-act the ancient and expensive hardware that Russia is deploying.
