Ukraine rapidly expanding its ‘Army of Drones’ – BBC News
Ukraine says it is ramping up its own production of drones as it struggles to cope with demand for the technology on the front line.
The government has relaxed import laws and scrapped taxes for drone parts and equipment.
The expansion is being funded by a successful fundraising campaign called the Army of Drones.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Drones are the key to civilized war. Unmanned weapons can be played out against each other, without the loss of human life. A revolutionary breakthrough for humanity that forbids killing humans in wars. A set theater of war above a vast ocean with set boundaries. Drones destroy each other until one party runs out. Manned means of war forbidden. All countries give 10% to a peace force that makes sure the loser does not attack civilians of the winner. In Roman time, the winners took slaves, in the middle Ages raping women was fair game, in recent wars we abolish chemical and biological weapons. Is it not time to act civilized and make an end to all the suffering, bloodshed and destruction wars bring about?

Why do you call "Ukrainian militants" an army?
There has been no army in Ukraine since 2014, when there was an armed seizure of power by internal terrorists.
The "army" of Ukraine consists of mercenaries who came from all over the world, they all have ultra-Nazi views, wear a swastika, draw a "German cross" on military equipment, as was the case with Nazi Germany in 1943. All these "militants" are united in battle groups, formed on the basis of the fascist detachments of the German army in 1943. Zelensky even calls the detachments the names of SS combat detachments, for example, "Edelweiss".
All these mercenaries are war criminals, many of them were in the Taliban and ISIS. …many mercenaries committed such war crimes that they were even banned by Ukraine itself, for example, "Tornado", "Azov", "Kozak" and others.
Don't call Ukraine's war criminals an army!
Ukraine is a terrorist country.

Every time Russia bombs civilians in Ukraine, Ukraine should bomb military targets in Russia. Are you stupid? Why are you putting defensive actions by Ukraine is this stupid light?
@carpenter3069

Of course, Ukraine should attack Russian infrastructure, railway bridges etc. Stupid question.
