TL;DR Summary

Ukraine is planning to expand its drone warfare capabilities with a budget of over $1 billion, as drones have proven effective in disrupting Russian military supply lines and saving soldiers' lives. However, the advantages of drones are fleeting as the Russian army quickly catches up. Ukrainian authorities have already trained over 10,000 new drone pilots this year.

The growing reliance on drones is a response to the depletion of resources and limited progress in Ukraine's counteroffensive against Russia's fortified defenses.
