What’s interesting here is how quickly this has shifted from just battlefield use to something more like exportable expertise. Ukraine isn’t just using drones — they’re turning that experience into partnerships and deals, including energy and economic ties alongside defense.

The silver lining in the dark war spanning 4+ years – advances in Drone technology that the underdog can export!
Side note- Ukraine was a hub of military manufacturing complex during the USSR era!

That asshole putin wanted to demilitarise ukraine. Look what has happened instead.
Unfortunately all of this is really bad for the planet and there’s no-one but putin to blame.

Another front that can be exploited is ramping renewable energy production and export. Cut off a major source of funding by making a the Petro energy market diminish in a puff of self sufficiency.
