Ukrainian drone attack on Russian aircraft represents 'a wake-up moment' for US

Ukraine‘s surprise drone attack targeting dozens of Russian aircraft last week was a wake-up call for the Defense and Homeland Security departments to the emerging threats that unmanned aerial vehicles can pose domestically.

The mission, dubbed Operation Spider’s Web, involved the use of cheap drones to target much more expensive Russian aircraft deep behind enemy lines, which were used to carry out repeated bombings of Ukraine’s infrastructure.
