Ukrainian Drone Maker Seeks Path Into US and NATO Markets

A Ukrainian drone manufacturer is seeking broader access to international defense markets and has presented its latest systems at a major aviation event in the region. Company representatives described strong interest from foreign buyers, particularly in the United States, where demand for unmanned systems continues to grow.

They explained that meaningful progress depends on formal agreements between governments that would allow export and production plans to move forward.

The firm entered the drone sector after the start of the conflict in Ukraine and has gained attention for several frontline systems. Its catalog includes an attack drone recognized for its range and accuracy, along with a first-person view platform used for fast strike missions. 

The company has also developed an interceptor designed to counter widely used long-range drones that pose persistent threats on modern battlefields. Officials stated that the interceptor can support forces that face constant pressure from massed unmanned attacks.

Company representatives noted that teams have already opened discussions with Western industry partners to position themselves for potential collaboration once export rules are settled. 

Interest from NATO-aligned contractors has been especially strong, and executives traveled to the event to build these relationships. They added that production inside the United States may be possible if regulatory approval arrives.

These efforts align with growing procurement goals within the US defense community, which seeks rapid expansion of its unmanned fleet.
