Ukraine Prepares for Counteroffensive with 10,000 Trained Drone Pilots

Ukraine has trained 10,000 drone pilots and raised $325 million for drones ahead of the anticipated counteroffensive to retake land occupied by Russia. The "Army of Drones" initiative plans to launch 60 companies to produce attack drones. Drones have played a key role in the conflict, with both sides using them for reconnaissance and to drop bombs or grenades. Ukrainian officials have previously noted that drones will be critical in the efforts to take back territory occupied by Russia.
