The US and Ukraine are discussing a “mega deal” for Washington to purchase battle-tested drones from eastern Europe in exchange for American heavy weaponry.

Moscow has been steadily shifting from cruise missile attacks to mass drone assaults. On the night of July 9, Russia launched a record 728 drones in a single wave, including Shahed kamikaze drones and decoys.

Ukraine’s military commander in charge of the country’s drone warfare program urged the US and NATO countries alike on Wednesday to learn from Kyiv’s use of the technology on the battlefield so in the future there are not “hard questions from your children [about] when [their] father will come back.

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.

Ukraine is massively scaling up its production of low-cost interceptor drones to stop Russia's growing barrages of Shahed attack drones.

Israel and Ukraine have used drones against their adversaries in audacious ways that have helped the Pentagon see the need for new technology.
