Russia has also made extensive use of drones in its waves of attacks throughout the war. And so one crucial function for Ukraine's own drone arsenal has been to prevent Russia's remote operated aircraft from reaching their targets.
NewsNation's Jackie Koppell met with people at two drone manufacturers. At different scales, both are supplying the Ukrainian military with some of the inexpensive drones that make up such a vital part of the war effort.
