0:07 The conflict in Ukraine has ushered in a significant evolution in military strategies, particularly evident in the realm of procurement, weapons deployment, and the utilization of force multipliers. The Ukrainian armed forces have notably intensified their focus on drone technology, a pivotal component in their recent tactical advancements. This emphasis on drone development and deployment has yielded tangible results. As demonstrated by a recent milestone we're in two drones successfully targeted objectives situated over 1000 kilometers within Russian territory, a feat unprecedented in Ukraine's military history.

0:48 Moreover, Ukraine's proficiency in drone operations has expanded to encompass the destruction of six Russian military aircraft stationed at their bases, underscoring the growing effectiveness of Ukrainian drone capabilities. Central to these achievements are the utilization of FPV first person view drones characterized by their compact size, agility and adaptability for specialized missions, such as chemic, kasi style attacks or precision bombings. Notably, a considerable portion of these drones is constructed by volunteers, exemplified by individuals like Bill Smith, and American engineer operating a 3d printing facility in Ukraine. The

1:29 procurement process for these drones involves a decentralized approach facilitated by digital technology. military personnel seeking drone assets submit their requirements to an intermediary website, where digital blueprints are accessed. Subsequently, approximately 1800 3d printers distributed across Ukraine, including those operated by volunteers at home, commence production based on these specifications. This streamlined process enables rapid manufacturing and deployment of drone assets, effectively enhancing the operational readiness of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

2:06 Furthermore, beyond conventional aerial drones, Ukraine has also ventured into the development and deployment of specialized aquatic vehicles, notably for engagements targeting Russia's Black Sea Fleet. Reports indicate the successful utilization of these aquatic drones, including an incident in early March were a maritime drone purportedly inflicted damage on a Russian warship. Such innovative applications underscore Ukraine's diversified approach to military procurement and utilization, leveraging emerging technologies to exert pressure across various domains of conflict. In

2:44 essence, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine has spurred a paradigm shift in military tactics driven by advancements in drone technology and innovative procurement methodologies. The ability to deploy drones effectively, both in conventional and unconventional operations, has provided Ukraine with a strategic edge, enabling precise targeting and sustained pressure on adversaries. As the conflict continues to unfold, the evolution of military strategies and technologies will remain pivotal in shaping the outcome and influencing broader geopolitical dynamics in the region.
