• Russia is teaching schoolchildren to operate combat drones, according to UK defense intelligence.
• It's a sign of how Russia has identified UAVs as a major aspect of contemporary warfare. 
• Drones have been invaluable for both Ukraine and Russia, completing attacks and conducting reconnaissance.
