TL;DR Summary

The domestic arms industry in Ukraine is producing an army of drones that have transformed the war with Russia. Ukrainian soldiers rely on homemade drones to gather real-time intelligence and target Russian positions, but they face constant electronic warfare from the Russian side. Drones have become a crucial tool in both offensive and defensive operations, with cheap drones destroying expensive equipment on both sides. Ukraine's domestic drone industry has grown significantly, but it still has a long way to go to meet its needs, especially as U.S. financing remains uncertain. The outcome of the war increasingly depends on the development and effective use of drones.
