Kseniia Kalmus, formerly known as a floral artist in Kyiv, has shifted her focus to co-producing drones for Ukraine following the Russian invasion. These efforts are supported by donations.
The drones produced are FPV mini quadcopters capable of carrying small bombs. Hundreds of these drones are manufactured monthly by Kalmus and volunteers.
According to Kyiv, approximately 75% of Russian battlefield losses are attributed to drones rather than traditional weapons like bullets or artillery.
Ukraine's drone industry has significantly expanded from just a few companies before 2022 to hundreds now, reflecting the growing importance of drone technology in the conflict.
