Despite the changes in warfare, Russian forces retain the ascendancy and are making slow but steady advances in the east and north of Ukraine. Russia has also caught up in UAV technology after falling behind early in the war, according to military analysts, and like its enemy is churning out drones domestically at a rate of millions a year.

Ukraine's Brave1 hopes all of its infantry will eventually carry its new anti-drone rifle rounds, designed to fire from NATO-issued rifles.

The people of America need this technology, and you need to have it in your arsenal,” Zelensky told The Post of Ukraine’s latest drones.

Unmanned vehicles dominate the battlefield in Ukraine—laying mines, delivering ammunition and medication, even evacuating casualties.

Zelenskyy has emphasized the importance of expanding production to counter Russia's invasion and strike deeper into Russian territory.

Cyber specialists of the Defense Intelligence (HUR) have attacked the Russian company Gaskar Integration, one of the largest suppliers of drones for the Russian army, according to sources within Ukrainian intelligence.

Over the winter, Brave1, a government defense-technology hub tasked with getting new capabilities field-ready, reported that Ukrainian troops were trialling the Black Widow 2. The system, which also measures roughly one meter in length, has a reported payload of three kilograms and a range of 10 kilometers.

The Russians have fired thousands of Iranian-designed, 11-foot-long Shahed drones into Ukraine, while the Ukrainians have built their own long-range drones that can attack targets over 700 miles away.
