Ukraine makes a big move, planning to export "millions of drones" to the United States
According to the US "The Drive" website, this week a Ukrainian delegation visited Washington and negotiated details of a drone export agreement with the Pentagon - reports say that the agreement will allow Ukraine to export millions of drones to the United States.
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense's statement said that during the talks, Ukrainian officials showed the U.S. side the latest developments in Ukrainian drone technology, specific models, effectiveness, and usage conditions.
How should we describe this drone export deal between the United States and Ukraine... Indeed, Ukraine has indeed come up with new tactics for using drones, but if it is said that Ukraine's so-called "indigenous drones" are advanced, that would be somewhat exaggerated.
This is because, although Ukraine claims to want to get rid of its reliance on Chinese supply chains, in fact, the drones currently used by the Ukrainian military still cannot do without Chinese parts, and Ukraine's so-called "indigenous drones" have only played the role of an assembler in the manufacturing process.
Therefore, an interesting situation is that Western media often praise Ukraine's "indigenous drones" as being very advanced, while at the same time complaining about China blocking Ukraine's neck in the export of drone components (but not selling them to Russia either, the current Chinese components used by Ukraine and Russia are all purchased from third countries), which is truly very contradictory.
