Drones have become one of the symbols of the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war and a weapon that has seen rapid development in recent years. Their significance for Ukrainian defense has surged, particularly as a critical means of compensating for artillery shortages caused by supply chain disruptions.
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have proven their efficiency in destroying both enemy forces and their multi-million-dollar equipment. They are also deployed in various special operations, including reconnaissance missions, and serve as an effective shield for Ukrainian defenders. Their frontline importance has made it vital for Ukrainians to support trusted fundraising campaigns dedicated to drone procurement.
