Both fronts use DJI drones[0][1], although DJI suspended its activities in both Russia and Ukraine as of April 26, 2022[2] and contractually forbids[3] any sales by dealers to either country and for combat use.

However, other actors are entering the war business, like Parrot[4].

Not so long ago there was a post / comment here that said Ukraine's going through around 10K DJI drones per month
Link?
They still use mostly DJI drones by burning an older firmware and using an anonymizer to hide takeoff and pilot's position from a potential aeroscope. DJI's are pretty cheap and really good at what they are doing.
