The conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which has been going on for the last several years, is not stopping. Every day something happens which deepens the crisis of war. According to Reuters, Britain on Wednesday promised to give Ukraine 100,000 drones by the end of the current financial year, April 2026, and this is a very large number. This shows that unmanned aerial vehicles have changed the way war is fought.
The UK government on Monday supported an independently produced strategic defense review, which calls for a more lethal, technology-driven army to counter emerging threats, including a possible Russian invasion.
Britain, one of Ukraine's staunchest Western supporters, has been continuously helping Kiev during its more than three-year battle against Russian aggression. At the same time, drones have completely changed the battlefield.
Ukraine will get help
The government said the 350 million pound ($473 million) drone package is part of a wider 4.5 billion pound military aid initiative for Ukraine. Defense Secretary John Healey will make the announcement at a meeting of the 50-nation Ukraine Defense Contact Group in Brussels, co-hosted with Germany.
In a statement ahead of the meeting, Healey said the UK was stepping up its support for Ukraine by delivering hundreds of thousands more drones this year and completing a major milestone in the delivery of vital artillery ammunition.
