Ukraine is scaling drone warfare at an unprecedented pace, using low cost systems to strike far beyond the frontlines and shift the fight from manpower to machines. A fast growing, decentralized production network, backed by the state and shaped by battlefield feedback, is driving this transformation. Could this strategy change the balance of the war with Russia and what does it mean for the future of warfare and its economics?
DW’s The Dip speaks to Kyiv correspondent Nick Connolly, Kyiv School of Economics Chair Nataliia Shapoval, and Brave1 COO Iryna Zabolota about how Ukraine is mobilizing its industry and resources to gain an edge.
