in an example of how cheaper modern and accessible technology is reshaping the battlefield.

“People are taking small drones, like the ones you can buy at JB Hi-Fi for $2000, putting a grenade on them and flying them over a crowd or a tank and releasing the grenade. You can basically build a $3000 machine to destroy a $5 million piece of equipment that your enemy has.” “We literally received a few dozen inquiries from various Ukrainian government agencies over the last month that we need DroneShield equipment,” he said.

“I was worried when we did the first sale because I wasn’t sure how effective our gear was going to be because we’ve never tested it against Russian technology before.
