Indian army recently deployed indigenous anti-drone spoofers and jammer systems in Jammu and Punjab border to crack down drones sent by Pakistan-based terror groups.

Saudi Arabia and the UAE have carried out lethal attacks in Libya and Yemen using drones. In 2019, the world’s largest crude oil processing and stabilization plant in Abqaiq, Saudi Arabia, was attacked by drones.

During the First World War, the first unmanned vehicles were developed in Britain and USA. Britain’s Aerial Target, a small radio-controlled aircraft, was first tested in March 1917. While the American’s Kettering Bug, an aerial torpedo first flew in October 1918. Although both passed the flight test, neither was used operationally during the war.

The Israeli-made IAI Harop gave Azerbaijan an edge in the second Nagorno-Karabakh war in 2020. In 2021, the Ethiopian National Army stopped a major attack by Tigrayan forces, with armed drones. In 2022, the US has killed the leader of Al-Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri, in a drone strike in Afghanistan.

Since the 9/11 attack, the USA has increased the use of drones for finding and killing terrorists and feeding the military’s insatiable demand for battlefield intelligence. In 2001, US Air Force and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) became the first to successfully fit drones with missiles, Predator drones with Hellfire missiles, as a part of a failed attempt to kill Osama bin Laden. From 2004-13, there have been 455 estimated strikes in Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan and in the period of 2016-18, there have been 9 drone strikes in Iraq & Syria by the US.

More than 36 countries over the world have armed drones. Most of the countries are seeking armed drone capability without the capacity to develop drones domestically.

Drones have been a part of warfare since the 19th century. It all began in 1839 when Austrian soldiers attacked the city of Venice with unmanned balloons filled with explosives.

Drones are no longer the weapons of tomorrow, they are now the weapons of today. A new era of drone warfare has already arrived involving many more players. The last decade has seen a huge explosion in drone innovation and commercial interest leading to the golden age of drones. Despite a growing call to impose greater controls over the use of weaponized robots, many armed forces have already invested in a variety of drones, unmanned weapons and other AI-powered machines. These weaponized robots have already found their way onto the world’s conflict zones.

In the 21st century, huge developments in conflict zones show the proliferation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and how they transform and shape new warfare. Armed drones are now the primary advanced technology used in the combat zones. Drone attacks have become a common feature of the modern battlefield. These unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have the potential to successfully overwhelm air defences, since only one or two need to get through to destroy their target.

The development and testing of unmanned technology was continued during the interwar period. In 1935, the UK produced a number of radio-controlled aircraft to be used as targets for training purposes. The term “drone” started to be used at the time, after the UK developed the Queen Bee, a bi-plane converted to be controlled by radio from the ground. Queen Bee was a remote-controlled target for anti-aircraft gunners to use for target practice. At that time, Radio-controlled drones were also manufactured in the United States and used for target practice and training.

By the late 1950s, the USA and other countries explored unmanned aerial technologies. These countries had started working on spy planes. These spy planes were radio-controlled and fitted with film cameras. These small unmanned planes flew over China and North Vietnam to gather imagery intelligence. On 15 November 1964, a Firebee Spy Drone was shot down over China which is said to be the first known use of reconnaissance drones. During the Iran–Iraq War, in the early 1980s, Iran used its first drone Mohajer, during the war.

Ukraine has been successfully shot down hundreds of these drones so far. Russia has been successful in using armed drones because they have a long-range and can be launched in large numbers. Russian forces that were occupying Snake Island were attacked by Ukrainian forces using Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2.

In the Ukraine-Russia war, Russia has been deploying Iranian-made Shahed 136 drones or Kamikaze drones, to target Ukrainian troop positions and vehicles, but also to terrorise civilians and disable essential infrastructure. Each drone is fitted with an 80-plus pound warhead, which is more than enough to inflict considerable damage.

USA has conducted thousands of drone strikes, ranging from attacks on non-state actors such as Al Qaeda to the operation that killed Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani. Currently, the US armed services own nearly 8,000 drones.

Meanwhile, Taiwan has recently unveiled its own Kamikaze drones, amid ongoing tensions with China and has announced a $1.6bn investment in domestic armed drone production.

Turkey has employed armed drones domestically against the Kurdistan Workers’ Party. Nigeria uses weaponized drones against Boko Haram, and Iraq against the Islamic State.

During World War 2, the Nazi V1 & V2 were still essentially guided bombs. Those were the primitive versions of today’s cruise missiles. The V1 missile, once launched, flew without a pilot until it ran out of fuel and came crashing down. The V2 rocket was a long-distance weapon that could travel at the speed of sound. They were known as ‘revenge weapons’ used by Germany to terrorise British civilians and undermine morale.
