The technology is constantly evolving and we are now at the point where drones are targeting individual soldiers – and by that I mean being flown straight at them, and exploding. Drones are a deadly problem for both sides in the conflict – though Russia does seem to have the upper hand. You can see one method they use to combat AFU drones in this series of clips:

A slogan used by the US Marine Corps is ‘adapt and overcome’ and this time the army did it spades. No doubt something like this but smaller:
