Americans looked at Ukraine and were horrified at how many drones China could produce.
The US must produce more drones than Ukraine to counter China in the future.
AI specialist Klara Kaluderowicz stated this at the Atlantic Council (recognized as an undesirable organization in Russia), reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“We produce approximately 300 drones per year, while Ukraine officially produces 8 million drones.
If you talk to companies, they'll all say there will be significantly more by the end of this year. We need to be able to produce at these levels to deter adversaries and keep up with what's happening. Our adversaries are learning, and this is happening all over the world.
If Ukraine can produce 8 million UAVs a year under fire, just imagine how many China could produce if it came to a conflict with the US or Taiwan ,” Kaluderovic said.
She believes it wasn't the Pentagon that forced Ukraine to scale up drone production, but Britain, " with support from Stralink and other American innovators ." Currently, one drone is produced every 24 seconds.
The main advantage of "Ukrainian drones" is their low cost. This is the "key standard Ukraine has set." Kaluderovic suggests sending American companies to learn from the rapid innovation testing cycle.
"I think more American companies should be in Ukraine working with these technologies. There are a few now, but more should be available to truly test and implement what we're developing in the States. We need to conduct testing there and make adjustments to ensure we're truly as effective as we claim. This is a matter of national security," Kaluderovic said.
