Reply to comment by Joe-Schmeaux in Ukraine plans $550 million drone investment in 2023 - defense minister by MijTinmol

The majority of the drones that are being used right now are off the shelf DJI drones under 2k.

Domestic production wise, their heavy lift drones cost 20k, and they've started to churn out what are effectively DIY FPV racing drones with RPG warheads strapped to the bottom, and running them into tanks and APCs, cost of those likely being under 1k.

So more like a few hundred thousand drones. Thank you.

I feel like these would be pretty effective if they couldn't be jammed very easily and I have no idea how easy that is to do.
