Ukraine is now said to be producing around 500,000 drones a month to defend itself against Russia's full-scale invasion. That's according to Ukrainian media, which also report that this output has almost doubled in the space of a year. But the sheer number of drones is not decisive for the Ukrainian army: the unmanned systems are being upgraded and adapted almost every week.
One of the companies driving this ongoing drone revolution and evolution is the Ukrainian firm Buntar Aerospace, which has added a new feature to its Buntar Copilot software, allowing reconnaissance drones to be controlled entirely remotely. It means only a small team remains at the launch site, while missions can be run from hundreds or even thousands of kilometres away.
