Drones have become a crucial element of modern warfare, fundamentally changing combat operations. Today, hundreds or even thousands of drones are deployed in a single day of fighting. Kamikaze drones—aerial strike vehicles—present a significant danger. These range from small units weighing just a few kilograms to large platforms approaching aircraft size.
The larger drones are particularly threatening because they target rear areas with limited traditional air defense coverage. To counter this threat, Ukraine has established mobile fire groups, nicknamed “Drone Hunters.” These units operate from various vehicles—primarily pickup trucks but also military vehicles—equipped with large-caliber machine guns or small-caliber anti-aircraft guns. The groups are sometimes reinforced with man-portable air-defense systems operators. While most mobile fire groups consist of trained military personnel, some are formed from volunteers.
