Adam Bry, CEO of Skydio, openly acknowledged the underperformance of their UAVs in Ukrainian operations, labeling the platform as unsuccessful on the front lines. The candid admission reflects a wider acknowledgment among U.S. drone producers of the challenges posed by modern electronic warfare, for which many were unprepared.
In contrast, Ukraine has diversified its UAV sourcing to overcome these limitations, increasingly relying on inexpensive Chinese drones, particularly from SZ DJI Technology, and developing a domestic drone production utilizing Chinese parts. This strategy has enabled the production of drones capable of carrying explosives and striking strategic targets deep within enemy lines. DJI, meanwhile, has expressed its disapproval of the use of its drones in conflict, despite their widespread adoption by the Ukrainian military.
Why would they do better against countermeasures?
