Maybe If the Ukraine has Drones, They Will Really Start Winning?


The Ukraine people are moving into the robot age, vowing to attack Russia with suicide drones.

Ukraine has bought some 1,400 drones, mostly for reconnaissance, and plans to develop combat models that can attack the exploding drones Russia has used during its invasion of the country, according to the Ukrainian government minister in charge of technology.

In a recent interview with The Associated Press, Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov described Russia’s war in Ukraine as the first major war of the internet age. He credited drones and satellite internet systems like Elon Musk’s Starlink with having transformed the conflict.

Yeah, thanks for that, Elon.

Ukraine has purchased drones like the Fly Eye, a small unmanned aerial vehicle used for intelligence, battlefield surveillance and reconnaissance.

And the next stage, now that we are more or less equipped with reconnaissance drones, is strike drones,” Federov said. “These are both exploding drones and drones that fly up to three to 10 kilometers and hit targets.”

He predicted “more missions with strike drones” in the future, but would not elaborate. “We are talking there about drones, UAVs, UAVs that we are developing in Ukraine. Well, anyway, it will be the next step in the development of technologies,” he said.

I can say already that the situation regarding drones will change drastically in February or March,” he said.

This whole situation is hard to even process.

The Ukraine has all of the most high-tech weaponry in the world at their disposal. The West has collapsed the economy of Europe to push this war. They have ruined trade deals that served as the backbone of the global world order.

The economic fallout would be listed in the untold trillions of dollars – especially when you consider the long term 10- or 100-year-cost of something like “completely wrecking German industry.”

And some of these things they’ve destroyed do not have a price. When Saudi Arabia starts doing non-dollar trades with China – what is the cost of that? This is the beginning of the end of the so-called “petro-dollar.” So is the cost “all the money in the world”?

With all of this poured into this goofy war, the Ukraine is still losing very badly.

But hey – maybe the drones will turn the whole thing around once and for all?
