Description

Ukraine builds eight million drones yearly, but America won't buy them. Washington demands domestically made hardware, even if it means falling behind rivals. Enter Scythian Forge, a company converting battle-proven Ukrainian designs into Pentagon-compliant systems. Their pitch to Ukrainian manufacturers: help build America's drone industry rather than compete against it.
