What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Ukrainian drone manufacturers rely heavily on electronics made by China, a country that is a key ally of Russia. Ukraine has been working to reduce this reliance by expanding domestic manufacturing and importing supplies from Taiwan, Europe, and the U.S. Despite these efforts, China’s lower costs and greater production capacity remain difficult to match.
