The Rusia–Ukraine War has produced many surprises, but none more profound — or more consequential for the future of armed conflict — than the explosive ascent of the drone.
In Rise of the Machines, Illya Sekirin offers the first comprehensive, insider-informed study of how unmanned systems have come to dominate the modern battlefield.
Drawing on his own experience as a volunteer drone pilot, front-line soldier, interpreter for Western units, researcher for the Ukrainian General Staff, and later adviser to Ukraine’s High Command, Sekirin delivers an unparalleled account of how drones have reshaped every level of war: tactics, operations and strategy.
