Ukraine's Army of Drones Grows for Front Line Defense

Ukraine is rapidly expanding its production of drones for the front line, funded by a successful fundraising campaign called the Army of Drones, which has raised over $108m with the help of celebrity supporters like Mark Hamill. The government has relaxed import laws and scrapped taxes for drone parts and equipment. The money is being spent on buying and building drones for the war and training new pilots for the front line. The most common drone seen on the front line is the DJI Mavic which costs less than $2,000. Organisers of the Army of Drones campaign say they have built or purchased an extra 3,300 drones.
