Ukraine IS ALREADY the global leader in drone technology!! And, Ukraine will be "The HUB of Defence Tech in the world" soon! Slava Ukraini. Heroyam Slava! (Comments are being deleted or censored - again.)

Ukraine's drone-based military tactics are going to change warfare for ever. They are pioneers in this regard. Slava Ukraini!!!

We can all be supporters of Ukraine. For example, by donating to United24 which funds important drone programmes.

Thank you for the insight. Let's never forget the men and the company and the people willing to support with a lot of money to get the Baraktar drones flying for Ukraine. It was a huge step forward. Baraktar wanted to build a factory in Ukraine, did it ever happen ? Did the Ukrainians develop their own so fast that it wasn't nessecary anymore ?

Very informative interview. Learned so much about drones and how they are helping Ukraine to victory!

Being on the cutting edge means a crazy amount of innovation. How do you accomplish this? Is it a crazy idea to hire volunteer innovators from around the world who think up and build prototypes of drones? A drone can be any shape and size and made from any material. Imagine setting up design teams of 2 to 20 innovators building and testing drones, one at minimum in every country in the world?

13:25: _"Ukraine is an agricultural powerhouse"_ It should be know (by anyone that reasons properly) that Ukraine is not just that. It was an industrialized state since from the Soviet time that produced tanks, had ironworks factories and produced electrical powers by nuclear plants. Let's rather say an engineering country that turned entrepreneurial at the Maidan Revolution, and had the advantage of a rich agriculture. Ukrainians should reason that Ukrainian membership to EU is as much an advantage for EU as the other way around. Same for NATO.

ok so Imagine a container full of pre-programmed autonomous kamikaze drones set with facial recognition and images of senior political and military leadership as "priority 1", then second priority a pre-set list of coordinates with critical infrastructure as secondary., then put such a container loaded with such drones on a cargo ship that then automatically unleash them just before the ship docks in a harbor.

24:01: [The risk with private persons creating their own drones] There's no such risk: a drone can make anything from surveillance, to dropping bombs. A soldier will decide what they can use a drone for, and they know their craft. Any machine is to some extent unreliable, only more or less unreliable, and the soldier decides what to use the drone for based on reliability and other factors. Today *_any_* person can construct a drone for say €100 with a soldering iron, electronic components and a few prefabricated circuit boards. The testing and the programming might be the hard part. You only have to learn the craft.
