I know the US has autonomous drones that fly, evade, hide, search, and highlight targets autonomously, but due to regulatory and sanity concerns, ping a home command and "ask" if they may kill their target. Which means one of those drinking-bird-toys tapping a "confirm" key could command a fleet of drones, in theory.
It's likely Ukraine is using similar tech, since that is old US tech and the US is sending out their old tech. One person can "command" a thousand drones, since all they need to do is look at a photo and confirm "kill this one? Y/N" every so often.
Too many drones for each to have a controller in Ukraine, maybe?
...maybe. But maybe they're actually operating without any controller at all. Which is an unnerving thought.
