The Russians are focusing on ground based combat drones almost exclusively. Their air drones seem to be geared toward surveillance.

Because Russia's war will be next door and on the ground.

The US relies on air power tho if you look at BDA imagery released not a small percentage of the so called drone strikes are more likely than not to have been conducted by mannned strike fighters as drones can't carry things that would leave that big of a crater.
