In 2022, seven Ukrainian companies were building drones. Today there are more than 500.

With support from @BRAVE1ua, Ukraine has built entire defense tech markets from scratch.

EW and ELINT makers grew from about 10 to 300+, UGV manufacturers from a handful to 200+. Trench EW, interceptor drones, and evacuation UGVs all came out of this ecosystem.

Ukraine now produces around 10 million drones a year. The next target is 20 million.

Russia has now lost more than 52,000 artillery systems and 600,000 tactical UAVs since the start of the full-scale invasion. Both milestones were crossed over the weekend.

By ArmyInform's estimate, that is about $144 billion in equipment: $83.4 billion in artillery and $60.2 billion in drones, or nearly half of the roughly $299 billion in Russian equipment losses it tracks.

None of it came from one big operation. It is the daily work of artillery crews, drone operators and air defense warriors across the front.

Every Iskander fired at a Ukrainian city starts its journey long before the launcher, in the plant that makes its fuel.

On the night of November 9, Ukraine’s Defense Forces struck the Morozov Plant near St. Petersburg. The Rostec enterprise produces solid-fuel charges for the engines of Iskander-M ballistic missiles. Three production workshops were damaged, and the extent of the damage is being clarified.

To be continued. 💥
