Ukraine produces around 400,000 explosive first-person-view drones every month. A typical drone regiment or brigade—the Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces oversees at least six such units—might expend more than 10,000 FPVs a month. Other Ukrainian drone teams, spread across the armed forces and other security agencies, account for the remaining FPVs.That’s a lot of drones.
