Aviation Week magazine predicts an explosive rise in the popularity of attack drones. In their new report 2021 Military Fleet & MRO Forecast, analysts of the publication compared the popularity of existing drones, indicating that in the future their number will only increase.

"The relatively minor six-week clash between Azerbaijan and Armenia in the disputed region of Nagorno — Karabakh in the second half of 2020 not only reinforced the usefulness of these systems, but also demonstrated how even armed forces that do not have good funding or technological development are able to manage them with devastating effect," the report says.
