According to various reconstructions, the massive use of drones by Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed reversed the course of the war. Drones that had been sold to him, for various reasons, by Turkey, Iran, China and the United Arab Emirates. In Ethiopia, drones allowed the Ethiopian army to easily and quickly hit numerous military and civilian targets, forcing the militias of the Tigray Liberation Front (TPLF) to retreat about 435 kilometers within a few days. In total, more than 300 people were killed by drones in the war in Ethiopia, according to Politic. Recently, however, it has become increasingly clear how drones can influence the course of a war or even determine its outcome.
