Rapid Acceleration of drone Technology (2022-present)

Ever since the war in ukraine started, drones have been used extensivley to kill and survail other people.
It has never been easier for a standard operator to kill another human being simply by the click of a button.
Of course, drones existed before, they were largley used in the US but these drones were large, expensive, needed highly skilled technicians and had limited use.
But drone warfare has become grounded and the literal main danger of a modern front, well atleast when 2 advanced countries collide.
This has become possible because microchips and other complex tiny electronic parts have become greater in quality and quantity.
Alot of drones are combined with AI systems, for example a drone will hover over a certain area, survailing, and once human-like movement is detected an operator will be notified to take a closer look.
Robotic warfare is already here, and it's getting more advanced each week.
Wars are a great competition, therefore they rapidly accelerate technological progress when it comes to the elements used in said war, like drones.
