The use of drones in the war has dramatically changed, with even experienced snipers now being targets for ordinary quadcopters with good cameras and thermal imagers. Ukraine is adapting to the new drone warfare landscape, with developments such as airburst electronic fuzes, fiber optic FPVs, and an online platform for military units to purchase drones and other equipment. ### Engagements: XXXXXX [#](/creator/twitter::1640201327140806661/interactions)  - X Week XXXXXXXXX +93% - X Month XXXXXXXXXX +92% - X Months XXXXXXXXXX +297% - X Year XXXXXXXXXX +530% ### Mentions: XX [#](/creator/twitter::1640201327140806661/posts_active)  - X Week XX +1.20% - X Month XXX +99% - X Months XXX +1.90% - X Year XXX +193% ### Followers: XXXXXX [#](/creator/twitter::1640201327140806661/followers)  - X Week XXXXXX +2.60% - X Month XXXXXX +12% - X Months XXXXXX +71% - X Year XXXXXX +210% ### CreatorRank: XXXXXXX [#](/creator/twitter::1640201327140806661/influencer_rank)  ### Social Influence [#](/creator/twitter::1640201327140806661/influence) --- **Social category influence** [countries](/list/countries) XXXXX% [technology brands](/list/technology-brands) XXXX% [social networks](/list/social-networks) XXXX% [stocks](/list/stocks) XXXX% [finance](/list/finance) XXXX% **Social topic influence** [ukraine](/topic/ukraine) #1006, [$fro](/topic/$fro) 3.64%, [drone](/topic/drone) #488, [russia](/topic/russia) 2.73%, [dji](/topic/dji) 1.82%, [signals](/topic/signals) 1.82%, [baba](/topic/baba) #982, [trenches](/topic/trenches) 1.82%, [toys](/topic/toys) #2951, [has been](/topic/has-been) XXXX% **Top accounts mentioned or mentioned by** [@atackacom](/creator/undefined) [@migsfarnum48](/creator/undefined) [@joyfulwarrior91](/creator/undefined) [@securityrollo](/creator/undefined) [@sukritganesh](/creator/undefined) [@shanraal](/creator/undefined) [@u2f_tg](/creator/undefined) [@tranquiltempes1](/creator/undefined) [@uraanitursas](/creator/undefined) [@bayraktar1love](/creator/undefined) [@arturojortiz](/creator/undefined) [@ericmfriel](/creator/undefined) [@jivanshah139154](/creator/undefined) [@hillerovsky](/creator/undefined) [@koffeekommander](/creator/undefined) [@mucha_carlos](/creator/undefined) [@hartreefock](/creator/undefined) [@tinkafur](/creator/undefined) [@thomadtimothy](/creator/undefined) [@captainpooby](/creator/undefined) **Top assets mentioned** [Frontline Ltd.

Canada is helping Ukraine upgrade its helicopters to intercept Shahed UAVs, with General Syrskyi noting that Canada is providing modern electro-optical and targeting systems. The use of drones in the war has dramatically changed, with even experienced snipers now being targets for ordinary quadcopters with good cameras and thermal imagers. Ukraine is adapting to the new drone warfare landscape, with developments such as airburst electronic fuzes, fiber optic FPVs, and an online platform for military units to purchase drones and other equipment.
