The capabilities of unmanned aerial vehicles are constantly growing, the scope of their use is expanding, combat survivability is increasing. Most of them are small, low optical and radar contrast, so they are less vulnerable to enemy air defenses. At the same time, in the armed forces of the world's leading countries, in particular the Armed Forces of Ukraine, unmanned aerial vehicles are increasingly used instead of manned aircraft to perform combat tasks of reconnaissance, battlefield surveillance, destruction of ground targets, creation of false air targets and more. In general, the assessment of modern armed conflicts shows an increase in the intensity of mass use of unmanned aerial vehicles to solve combat tasks at various levels (tactical, operational and strategic), which significantly changes the course of armed struggle in the air. Unmanned aerial vehicles have been and remain one of the main means, which determines not only the enthusiasm of the initiative, but also the result of the confrontation in general.
Analysis of publications allows us to understand the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, the effectiveness of unmanned aerial vehicles in solving various problems, as well as their advantages and disadvantages, but does not reveal ways and experience of using unmanned aerial vehicles in today's military conflict.
This article reveals the trends in the combat use of unmanned aerial vehicles, analyzes the use of unmanned aerial vehicles based on the experience of their combat use in combat conflict with the Russian Federation, which, in particular, showed that the struggle of air defense forces and forces in the armed conflict Aviation is ineffective due to a number of factors, in particular due to the advanced development of these air attack means in relation to existing air defense firepower. In addition, the paper identifies the importance of unmanned aerial vehicles on the peculiarities of warfare, its further nature of action and trends in the further application and features of modern martial arts with the leading role of aviation.
Thus, the air operation (both for defense and offensive purposes) is an important component of the operation to repel armed aggression and aggravate the military-political conflict and full-scale armed conflict of the Russian Federation requires a more detailed analysis of combat applications of modern unmanned aerial vehicles.
