The single most decisive weapon to emerge from the war is the FPV drone, a kamikaze drone with armor-piercing or antipersonnel warheads that allows an operator to pilot it straight into enemy vehicles and personnel. Militaries around the world are scrambling to adopt the new technology, including the United States.
