Today's drones are somewhat akin to small bombers from World War II. In the future, we might see drones equipped with machine guns specifically designed to hunt down other drones.
Drones are underpowered low energy manpower intensive way of fighting. Russia prefer to fight with drones because it force Ukraine to greater use of manpower which expose alot of things. like moving around F-16 from base to base. as long F-16 fly low to the ground Russia may not want to finish off as it is mission kill. Russia has surplus manpower due to Soft Power support.

The key information they wanted to tell is in first year Ka-52 did the most destruction of Ukraine (Hero of Ukraine war) (before even 2023 Ukraine summer offensive) and It is Putin most dangerous helicopter not Russian. It is called Personification. with english disclaimer it is for information purpose. I dont go into specification what it does against drones and drones teams. that is too classified.
