Ukraine’s Drone Production Surpasses NATO’s, Report Says
Ukraine’s drone industry is experiencing significant expansion into Europe, driven by the war with Russia and growing demand from NATO members. Leading Ukrainian drone manufacturers, like TSIR, are establishing production facilities in NATO countries like Finland, in partnership with local firms, to produce tactical drones for both Ukrainian and allied forces. This trend includes raising funds for additional production and R&D projects, and has led to the establishment of arms export offices in several European countries. With a rapidly growing drone production capacity, Ukraine is producing more drone varieties than all NATO countries combined, potentially transforming NATO’s approach to unmanned warfare.
