I'm willing to bet they gave the Ukrainians the basic idea of using drones in warfare, and they took it to another level by strapping RPGs and grenades to them. The US basically used them for reconnaissance, but not like this.
We've had weapons equipped drones for a long time. Predator drones!
The glaring difference is the effectiveness of these cheap dji and similar drones dropping grenades.
Yeah I should have clarified lol.
