Ukraine only has consumer drones, I don't think they have any military drones
I thought they had some for some reason
People need to start distinguishing between the little quadcopters you can buy at walmart, and fucking reaper drones. Headlines like "China is selling drones to Russia" makes it seem like it isn't a $150 drone bought off fucking aliexpress
They do. They have Bayraktar drones.
I do agree that the lack of distinction is kind of stupid.
They all got shot down

This would mean they still have some.
