A Ukrainian official recently shared a video showing a stockpiled "drone army" amid the ongoing war with Russia.
Mykhailo Fedorov, the Ukrainian deputy prime minister for innovation, education, science, and technology, wrote in a translated Telegram post: "Powerful drones are our competitive advantage over the Russians. 'Birds' change the course of war and save the lives of soldiers."
He said: "During the nine months of the UNITED24 project, the Drone Army contracted 3,200 UAV complexes for over UAH 4 billion (over USD 100 million). The doctrine of the use of UAVs was completely transformed. [Over 7,000] military personnel have been trained as drone operators."
According to The Kyiv Independent, the "drone army" is a combined project between the Ukrainian digital transformation ministry and the United24 organization. The project helps to supply Ukrainian soldiers with drones, as well as train them on how to use them, the newspaper reported.
The post from Fedorov comes as the war continues to rage between Ukraine and Russia after President Vladimir Putin announced the "special military operation" last year. The use of drones has been highly publicized in the conflict.
The U.S. has continued to supply Ukraine with assistance throughout the war, which includes drones. In February, the U.S. announced a $2 billion security assistance package to Ukraine, which included drones as well as weapons to combat the drones used by Russia.
