What was said
"We have our first contract granted by the Department of Defense to have a US manufacturer produce Ukrainian drones under license. There's not a lot of information out at this point. It's all super secret, but I'll share what I know and give you a couple of guesses based on what we know what that means."
The Department of Defense has granted its first contract for American production of Ukrainian military drones, marking a significant shift in U.S.-Ukraine defense cooperation. Ukrainian Defense Drones will manufacture the F10 quadcopter drone under license from Ukrainian company F Drones at a facility in Ohio, though construction won't be completed until December 2029. The deal comes despite reported tensions between President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky.
