WSJ spoke about Ukrainian startups that produce drones for strikes in Russia

The American newspaper Wall Street Journal publishes a report about the new Ukrainian industry for the production of drones, which are used for attacks on Russian territory.

As stated in the publication, the Ukrainian authorities cannot use Western equipment to fire at Russian targets, so they rely on products of their own production.

As a result, many startups have appeared in Ukraine - relatively small enterprises that develop and produce combat drones commissioned by the Ukrainian military.

The authors write that this approach helps Ukraine resist a Russian invasion, but it has its limitations, since Russia has put its entire economy on a war footing and uses hundreds of Iranian suicide bomber drones in combination with missiles.

Therefore, Western experts cited by the publication advise Kyiv to determine which of the different drone models are the most promising and organize their mass production.

One of the newspaper's interlocutors identified 19 different models of Ukrainian drones that are used to strike Russia, including balloons that drop grenade launchers from high altitudes.
