A Russian infantry vehicle darts across a war-torn field, trying to outrun a small Ukrainian drone. But there's no escaping this peculiar weapon: a high-speed, highly maneuverable flying IED.
The drone strikes the armor, setting off an explosion. Soldiers inside rush to ditch their wounded vehicle, knowing well what's coming next. A second drone swoops in and devastates it with an even larger blast, a killing blow.
This scene from a drone attack in April, footage of which was shared by the Ukrainian defense ministry, is one of many that have shown the world that the long-awaited unmanned future of war has arrived, and it's terrifying.
