How Cheap Hobby Drones Became One of Ukraine’s Most Vital Weapons
Single FPV drones worth $260 have been taking out Russian tanks worth millions of dollars. Ukraine's armed forces need more and one man has a plan to make that happen.
News platforms said it was the long-range version of the US weapon but there was no early Kyiv confirmation. It may have been Ukraine’s most ambitious ballistic missile strike of the war so far.

"Even the United States, having spent almost US$50bn – roughly the annual size of the UK’s defense budget – are spending less than five per cent of their defense budget helping Ukraine. Less than five per cent, to degrade a peer adversary. We won’t see any near that level of return if and when the west has to confront an increasingly assertive and aggressive China.
Ukraine’s ability to degrade Russia at pace and scale is a once in a lifetime opportunity to ensure peace once again returns to Europe, and we must now press home this advantage over the coming winter months and into next year.

@Walter Rywak,
100% agree with your article.
Irrespective of military aid to date the Western countries are essentially forcing Ukraine to fight with 'one arm tied behind its back:if not also one leg' ?? Give Ukraine the tools to do job inc modern jets and missiles such as ATACMs and Taurus ??...
Ukraine has proven it learns quickly in its fight for a democratic future and its survival against autocratic kleptocracy Russia??
take out putin's place in Sochi
Keep up the great work Ukraine! And I fully support the Social Drone UA Program. Darn, your soldiers/sailors/marines/airmen are re-writing the book on modern warfare. Toss out your copy of Sun Tzu's, "The Art of War"... Ukraine has become the new authority on how to kick butt via creativeness and applied leverage.
Remember that although money and arms do play a big role in a war but there is something that money alone and military power can not necessarily bring into life and that is the goodwill to live and evolve ...
Sing the song of freedom
And allow life to be
created to all you and me
Liberty coming above the sea ,
Know the truth to set you free
It is a better world for all to see
Being reborn again is a key ...
