Russia-Ukraine War: Britain To Supply 1 Lakh Drones, Making Conflict With Russia Fiercer Than Ever!

International News: The conflict between Russia and Ukraine that has been going on for the last several years is not stopping. Every day something or the other happens which deepens the crisis of war. The UK has pledged to deliver 100,000 drones to Ukraine by April 2026 — a staggering commitment that reflects how drone warfare is reshaping modern battlefields. The British government on Monday backed an independently produced strategic defence review that calls for a more lethal, technology-driven military to counter emerging threats including a potential Russian invasion. Britain, one of Ukraine's staunchest Western supporters, has been a steadfast supporter of Kiev during its more than three-year battle against Russian aggression. At the same time, drones have completely transformed the battlefield.

Ukraine will get help

The 350 million pound ($473 million) drone package is part of a wider 4.5 billion pound military aid initiative for Ukraine, the government said. At a meeting of the Ukraine Defence Contact Group in Brussels, Defence Secretary John Healey will announce the UK's intentions to provide Ukraine with sophisticated weapons, with Germany co-hosting the event.

In a statement ahead of the meeting, Healey said the UK was increasing its support for Ukraine by delivering hundreds of thousands more drones this year and completing a major milestone in the delivery of vital artillery ammunition.In addition to the drone deliveries, Britain said it had completed the shipment of 140,000 artillery shells to Ukraine since January and would spend a further £247 million on training Ukrainian troops this year.
