Ukraine’s innovative drone industry helps counter Putin’s war machine

The growth of Ukraine’s domestic drone industry over the past two years has been striking, with more than 200 drone-manufacturing companies created. The Ukrainian authorities have allocated $2 billion for the production of drones in 2024, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy setting an annual production target of one million FPV drones.

Ukraine’s leaders hope more drones will mean less reliance on traditional munitions and fewer casualties. “We don’t have as many human resources as Russia. They fight, they die, they send more people, they don’t care, but that’s not how we see war,” commented Alex Bornyakov, Ukraine’s Deputy Minister of Digital Transformation.

A key element in Ukraine’s drone strategy is the BRAVE1 initiative, a government-led defense tech cluster established in spring 2023 to streamline cooperation between the public and private sectors. This cluster has helped numerous companies cut through red tape, speeding up the implementation of new technologies to support Ukraine’s defense.

Trade between Russia and China does not seem as easy as they would have you believe. That entire BRICS stuff does not work well without a central exchanged unit of currency like the good old American Greenback!

There's alot to unpack from this twitter thread.

If anyone is into comms/jamming this goes over details of how far drones have developed...albeit using apparent ww2 tech (for specific reasons)

Ironically, we learn much of Ukrainian tech through images of device captured by Russians.

This is not a dji mavic!

The way these bombs align during descent has an aesthetic co-ordination.

Well the Russians are sending shipments of arms to Iran. Hezbollah fired a bunch of rockets into Israel and the U.S. is sending four aircraft carriers to the region.  Seems like this could escalate into something big...

Evidence that Russia train network is decreasing in capacity/efficiency.

They have known issue sourcing wheel bearings (used to be europe) and attrition from maintenance issues to engines.

Feels a bit like when Progozhin turned around and marched then wrong way...

Bold move, russia has lost so much commiting to Ukraine, has it much left domestically?

How much will it have to redirect from existing fronts to address its own invasion??

Russia is in a pickle with the Kursk intrusion.
