Zelensky Just Ordered 1,000 Drones a Day Against Russia
Om avsnittet
President Volodymyr Zelensky has set an extraordinary new objective: increase Ukraine’s long-range campaign from more than 300 drones per day to 1,000. This would not simply produce larger attacks. It could transform Ukraine’s occasional mass raids into continuous industrial pressure against Russian refineries, military facilities, transportation networks, ports, and export infrastructure.
I examine whether Ukraine can realistically achieve this scale, how Defense Minister Yevhen Khmara and commander Mykhailo Drapatyi fit into Ukraine’s evolving military system, and why inexpensive drones are forcing NATO countries to reconsider their expensive defense models. France admits it is not prepared for cheap drone warfare at scale, while Taiwan is investing billions in its own domestic drone industry.
I also discuss Marine Le Pen’s past statements about Ukraine and NATO, Russia’s disputed account of the Anchorage negotiations, Moscow’s assurances that it will not provoke NATO, the Trump administration’s treatment of Canada, Senator James Lankford’s visit to Kyiv, and why supporting Ukraine remains directly connected to American economic and national-security interests.
How quickly can Ukraine reach 1,000 long-range drones per day—and what happens to Russia if it can sustain that tempo?
