"Mykhailo Fedorov, the defence minister, said: We will have our own Mavic analogue: the same camera, but with a longer flight range. Fedorov did not disclose the manufacturer of the Ukrainian version. Fedorov on Tuesday promised a sweeping data-driven overhaul of Ukraine's military to reward commanders achieving results on the battlefield and give Ukrainian forces the upper hand. Fedorov said he would start by overhauling the vast defence ministry's management and spending,"
"He promised a mission control system for drone flights and for artillery crews to increase the data available about crews' performance and effectiveness. Fedorov said Ukraine would establish a system allowing its allies to train their military artificial intelligence models on Kyiv's combat data collected throughout the war including combat statistics and millions of hours of video taken by drones."
Ukraine will field a domestically produced replacement for the Chinese-made DJI Mavic drone, matching its camera but offering longer flight range. Reliance on Chinese drones and components has been a concern given Beijing's relationship with Moscow. Ukrainian forces already produce many suicide attack drones and defensive systems for countering Russian drones, while volunteer groups source retail Mavic units for frontline reconnaissance. Defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov pledged a sweeping data-driven overhaul of military management and spending to reward battlefield results. Planned systems include mission control for drone flights, artillery crew performance tracking, and sharing combat data so allies can train military AI models. A Russian air attack cut power to over a million Kyiv residents and affected substations tied to nuclear plant safety.
