Ukraine Bolsters Anti-Drone Capabilities Amid Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Ukraine's deputy prime minister for innovation, education, science, and technology, Mykhailo Fedorov, shared a video of a stockpiled "drone army" that has been contracted for over $100 million and trained over 7,000 military personnel as drone operators. The use of drones has been highly publicized in the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia, with Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to Ukraine's minister of internal affairs, calling them "the super weapon here." The U.S. has continued to supply Ukraine with assistance throughout the war, which includes drones, while Russia has reportedly been using Iranian-made Shahed-136 drones.
