Interesting comments from the French Army Chief of Staff General Pierre Schill, he says after early war dominance Bayraktar aren't flown at all in Ukraine anymore because they are extremely susceptible to EW jamming. At the moment he says cheap fragile FPV suicide drones 'the sword' are dominant accounting for around 80% of air to ground kills but he expects this to be a blip in in eternal struggle between sword and shield and due to improvements in air defences they wont be around at all in 10 years time, already 75% of small drones are being lost on the battlefield due to electronic warfare and he expects the pendulum to swing back towards more complex and larger medium altitude drones.
