We’ve seen evidence of this since even before Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014. More on that later.

Good morning to readers, Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.
#Drones have leveled the playing field between a Goliath #Russia and a David-like #Ukraine.
But drone development is evolving so quickly that Ukrainian engineers must innovate — or people die.
There’s no place in the world where #drone innovation is happening faster than in Ukraine.
With fewer funds and fewer soldiers, Ukraine has needed to out-think and out-innovate the Russian military.
