The Pentagon is exploring Ukrainian interceptor drones after concluding that no U.S. manufacturer currently matches their cost, speed, and battlefield-tested reliability, according to Defense One. A UK–Ukraine co-developed drone recently scored 99.3 out of 100 in the Pentagon’s Drone Dominance program, outperforming competitors by a wide margin. Ukraine’s defense industry has expanded from just 7–10 drone manufacturers before the full-scale invasion to more than 500 today.
