Ukraine’s Drone Army: 10 Million a Year to Change the War
Ukraine’s defense industry boasts an annual drone production capacity of up to 10 million units, significantly cheaper than comparable combat UAVs. These drones, already battle-tested and crucial to Ukrainian battlefield tactics (accounting for roughly 80% of attacks), are enabling strikes deep within enemy territory. Recent operations, such as the “Spiderweb” operation targeting Russian air bases, highlight the effectiveness of this technology and Ukraine’s resulting global leadership in drone warfare. Ukraine is actively seeking international partnerships to further develop and expand its drone capabilities.
