The Use of Drones in Tactical Military Operations in the Integrated and Cybernetic Battlefield

Drones have become an essential component of modern military arsenals, representing unmanned aerial vehicles capable of performing a variety of tasks, from surveillance and reconnaissance to precision strikes and assistance in military operations. This paper examines the classification and use of drones in the integrated and cybernetic battlefield, analyzing the existing types of drones and the advantages and disadvantages of their use. Various types of drones, their characteristics, capabilities, advantages, and limitations depending on the type and purpose of the operation are examined. The high flight autonomy, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities, striking potential, precision, and reduced manufacturing and operating costs make drones a highly topical subject in military scientific research. The vulnerabilities and specific limitations of these new weapons, such as vulnerability to radar interference, adverse weather conditions, technological novelty, and doctrinal action limitations, create problems, restrict use, and decrease target effectiveness.

Additionally, the paper analyzes the role and impact of Kamikaze drones in military operations in the current integrated and cybernetic battlefield, highlighting their ability to precisely target and surprise the enemy.
