Ukraine plans drone deals with US valued at up to $30 billion, Zelensky says

If true and not an attempt to distract attention from recent protests, this is huge

There has been a realization in past months that US is seriously unprepared for a drone war even with a regional power like Russia,let alone China

Not that US wouldn’t win a drone war with Russia or even China, but the cassualties would be far higher than in a conventional war.

Drones have their disadvantage and they certainly are inferior to artillery, as one Ukrainian comander said that he can do with some artillery shells what It takes drones couple hours to do so, but they are rapidly improving and are dirt cheap to produce.

Eventually their quantity alone will compensate for quality

However, US is still screwed if it doesn’t recondition its military vehicles in the coming years with at least basic anti drone technology, and portable anti-drone weapons are desperately needed.

It’s an arms race similar to those seen in WW2 and WW1
