Britain boosts drone aid for Ukraine with massive delivery plan
The British government has announced that by April 2026, it will provide Ukraine with 100,000 drones. This will represent a tenfold increase in this type of support from London for the Ukrainian military.
Reuters reports that the UK government believes that unmanned aerial vehicles have transformed the nature of warfare.
The delivery of thousands of drones, valued at 350 million pounds (473 million dollars), is part of a broader British military support initiative for Ukraine worth 4.5 billion pounds.
The British government also stated that it has completed the delivery of 140,000 artillery shells to Ukraine and will spend an additional 247 million pounds this year on training Ukrainian soldiers.
