Ukrainian drones have a major advantage over any other, even high-tech counterparts, because they have been tested under real combat conditions, military expert Ivan Tymochko told Kyiv24.
“Ukrainian drones are a child of war… Everything that is excessive on some drones, even those Americans are proud of, we don’t have, because it is either unnecessary, limits performance, or increases the cost of a weapon beyond its potential,” he said.
Tymochko adds that Ukraine also has an advantage in specialists — operators who can effectively use drones in combat under defensive conditions, often with far fewer resources than the enemy.
“U.S. interest is natural, as they are only now learning to counter Iranian and Russian drones, while we already have extensive experience,” the expert explained, describing U.S. interest in Ukrainian drones.
We shall remind you that the Fox News TV channel's story about the US military operation in Iran erroneously showed Ukrainian interceptor drones as the latest US technology.
