Kill For Points examines the Russia–Ukraine war through the rise of FPV drone warfare, where small, improvised aerial weapons deliver point-blank violence and carry the camera into the final moments before impact. It follows how these strikes are recorded, edited, and rapidly shared online, branded with unit identities and circulated like highlight reels, collapsing the boundary between combat, documentation, and performance. It then traces how this visibility hardens into structure. In the drone war, kills are scored, tallied, and exchanged for equipment, turning violence into measurable output and sustained incentive. What began as improvisation has become a gamified system. ''Kill for points'' is no longer a metaphor, but the language the drone war now speaks. Disclaimer: This book contains sensitive and potentially disturbing material depicting real acts of violence. It is included not for spectacle, but to examine how warfare is mediated, aestheticized, and normalized through contemporary circulation. By reproducing what combatants, states, and online audiences openly share and glorify, the book documents this transformation rather than endorsing it. Show more
