Ukraine has developed a formidable drone program in its the war against Russia. The attacks inside the country, including Moscow, have given Putin and his generals something more to think about.
Former U.S. Defense intel officer Rebekah Koffler discusses additional aid pledged to Ukraine and the U.S.'s decision to launch an unarmed ICBM in California.Last Friday, responding to questions about recent strikes on Crimea, Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine Mykhailo Fedorov, acknowledged, albeit indirectly, that Ukraine was behind them. He also warned that there will be more drone attacks on Russian warships.
Having launched the drone warfare program, dubbed the Army of Drones, Zelenskyy installed Fedorov, the 32-year-old minister, to spearhead it with the mission of creating a"new type of army," which would capitalize on the achievements of commercial industry and have a private-sector mindset. He promised $100 million in donor funding.

Another form of tactical innovation that Ukraine brought to the battlefield are maritime drones, also known as"uncrewed surface" vessels or"USVs." These can be weaponized robot jet skis or attack boats that carry warheads as heavy as 1,900-pounds. They ram into their targets – such as a warship or a submarine – kamikaze-style.
