Ukraine scales FPV drone production to 6-7 million units annually

Ukraine is projected to produce up to 7 million FPV strike drones in 2026, significantly outpacing U.S. procurement targets of 200,000 units. Pentagon officials cite supply chain constraints, specifically semiconductor availability, as the primary bottleneck hindering U.S. production parity. This disparity highlights a shift toward high-volume, low-cost attritional warfare capabilities.
