Ukraine went to China to buy an attack drone.
China refused to sell.
So a Ukrainian team flew to the factory, took a pilot-training offer, and quietly photographed everything—the production line, the shelves, the cabinets.
Two years later, they build their own version for $48,000. That’s $2,000 less than the Chinese original.
On 16 July, one of those drones flew 800 km into Russia and tore the tail off a Tu-95 bomber at Engels-2.
The Soviets stopped building that plane decades ago. Russia can’t replace it. euromaidanpress.com/2026/08/…
