US drones useless in Ukraine
By Lucas Leiroz -April 12, 20240114
US aid to Ukraine with drones is proving insufficient on the battlefield. Recently, the Western media admitted that American unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in Ukraine are ineffective in combating Russia. The case clearly shows the weaknesses of Western military technology, which has proven useless when tested on the battlefield.
According to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), small American drones sent to Ukraine are not capable of evading efficient Russian electronic warfare mechanisms. US-made UAVs are used massively for reconnaissance operations and grenade attacks, but their results are unsatisfactory and do not bring real benefits to Ukrainian troops on the front lines.

So they're already obsolete.

US drones are based on the same old technology that was handed to Iran back during Obama's reign. US drones can easily be hacked, and they do not serve the purposes that Ukraine has. Ukraine relies on small drones that act as flying bombs to target soldiers, vehicles, and stationary objects. The US military simply doesn't think that way.
