The appearance on the battlefield of such weapons as loitering ammunition (loitering munition) revealingly draws a line between war in the 20th and 21st centuries. So far, there are no signs that they will completely change the course of hostilities, as did machine guns or tanks with aircraft in past world wars.

After all, this type of weapon is at most a decade and a half old, and its history is still not really written. It is all the more interesting to admit that Ukrainian companies have been developing their own loitering ammunition systems for several years now.
