What military drones do Ukraine and Russia have?
Ukraine's main military drone is the Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2. It is about the size of a small plane, has cameras on board, and can be armed with laser-guided bombs.
Ukraine started the war with a fleet of "fewer than 50" of these, says Dr Jack Watling of think tank the Royal United Services Institute (Rusi).
Russia mainly uses the "smaller, more basic" Orlan-10, he says. "Russia started the war with some thousands of them, and may have a few hundred left." These drones also have cameras and can carry small bombs.

..."Elon Musk's SpaceX company is providing its Starlink satellite communications system to Ukraine. This creates a secure link between commercial drones and operators.
DJI has now stopped supplying drones to Russia or Ukraine."...

The ever changing battlefield. No plan ever survives first contact. And most drones don't either.
