It's not rly the ability of drones to observe that makes them so strong, but the ability to attack. Russia's air defense is unable to stop a drone swarm, especially because its something the world hasn't yet seen. And if two drones armed with explosives take down a bigass helicopter, that's a massive win.

A few weeks ago, Ukraine decimated an oil refinery on russian territory with a swarm of drones of which only 40% were taken down by the russian air defense.

I think it might be more fair to say that it isn't just the ability to observe. Drones have absolutely transformed the modern battlefield.

Certainly true. But observing is something we could do for a long time with satellites.
