Ukraine sharply boosts delivery of drones to armed forces so far this year, commander says

Beers & Burgers: Harvey's To Go | SaltWire #harveys #burger #beer #foodbloggerKYIV - Ukraine has delivered three times more drones to its armed forces so far this year than in the whole of 2023, a top commander said, as Ukrainian forces accelerate the use of unmanned craft in the war against Russia.

Ninety-nine percent of drones used by the Ukrainian military are produced domestically, Sukharevskyi said. The increased use of drones by both sides has been shifting the conflict away from the battlefield to strikes on each other's military, energy and transport infrastructure. Ukraine's booming military-industrial complex grew GDP by 1.5% in 2023, a significant chunk of the total GDP growth last year of around 5%.
