The use of drones in psychological operations has become increasingly prevalent in modern warfare. These unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have proven to be an effective tool in gathering intelligence, conducting surveillance, and delivering propaganda messages to target audiences. In Ukraine, drones have played a significant role in the ongoing conflict between Ukrainian government forces and Russian-backed separatists.
The history of drones in psychological operations dates back to the early 2000s when the United States military began using UAVs for reconnaissance and surveillance purposes in Afghanistan and Iraq. As the technology improved, drones became more sophisticated and were equipped with cameras, sensors, and other advanced capabilities.
