The country hopes to collect thousands of hobbyist and commercial drones.
Dozens of people have given their hobby and commercial drones to Ukraine after it appealed for "dronations" to help build its "army of drones".Ukrainian and Russian forces have both used small consumer drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles .
Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine's minister of digital transformation, told the BBC via email that the first goal of the campaign was to purchase tactical drones which have a 160 km range and are equipped with sophisticated camera, GPS and mapping tools The campaign which was launched Friday has already raised 200m UAH enabling the purchase of two military UAVs - and dozens of small drones had been receivedThe military "warmate" drones, according to Mr Bronk, are a type of loitering munition manufactured in Poland. According to the company's website the drone "constitutes a good alternative for anti-tank guided missiles".
Drones, along with Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet system and professional radio equipment, were now among the most sought-after technology, he said. As a result, Mr Bronk says, whenever Ukraine sends up a small UAV using radio remote control "the Russian electronic warfare kit picks it up and immediately either takes it over or just cuts the command link electronically and forces it to return".
