Abstract:

Combat unmanned aircraft belongs to the science-intensive, high-tech, most promising and rapidly developing aviation sector. Barrage munitions or kamikaze drones can be considered among the most popular combat unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in modern military conflicts, therefore the results of this study are quite relevant. 

The article deals with the issues of global growth in defense spending until 2029, the dynamics of regional defense spending in the Asian part of the continent, the states of Transcaucasia and Central Asia in 2023-2024, the development of global and regional drone markets until 2033. Some issues of the development of the global and regional markets for military drones are highlighted, a brief analysis of the global and regional markets for military drones until 2030, the use of military drones, including kamikaze drones in modern military conflicts by the countries of the region is carried out.

Examples of the economic effectiveness of the use of barrage ammunition in modern military conflicts are reviewed, taking into account the comparison of the damage caused to the opposing side and the cost of weapons systems that are targets for kamikaze drones. 

In this study, an expert assessment of some factors related to the peculiarities of conducting military operations with the use of combat UAVs in modern military conflicts, the peculiarities of the economy of the country producing unmanned aircraft were carried out. According to the results of the assessment, the conclusions of national experts on the development and use of military UAVs, including kamikaze drones, are reflected. The study focuses on certain issues of classification of combat UAVs and barrage ammunition in the Republic of Kazakhstan.

During the preparation of information on the research topic, a review analysis of domestic and foreign literature, a comparative analysis of the data obtained, methods of logical constructions, analogy, comparison, generalizations, system and situational analysis were applied.
