Today, Ukraine has transformed from a weapons recipient to a technology exporter, with its products and tactics reshaping the global anti-drone industry.</p> <p>In February 2022, when Russian troops crossed the border, Ukraine was expected to fall quickly. At that time, US aid to Kyiv was even limited to helping President Zelensky evacuate. However, the war did not unfold as expected. Ukrainian forces not only successfully organized defenses but also dragged the conflict into a trench warfare attrition battle reminiscent of World War I—neither side could achieve air superiority, the front line was almost static, and drones became key players on the battlefield.</p>
