Since the onset of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, drones have emerged as significant weapons and tools for both Ukrainian and Russian forces. Ukraine's drone production reached an impressive two million units last year, reflecting a commitment to innovation amidst conflict. NPR's Eleanor Beardsley explores a drone-making facility in Kyiv, demonstrating the fusion of advanced manufacturing technology with grassroots initiatives in creating unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that play essential roles in the ongoing war.
"Drones have proven to be a pivotal resource in the Ukraine conflict, with production numbers reaching two million UAVs last year, highlighting rapid innovation."
"The conflict has pushed Ukraine to the forefront of drone technology, blending large-scale and small-scale production efforts to meet battlefield demands."
