The Philippines Sent Defense Officials to Kyiv for a Drone Deal
If anyone had Manila shopping for combat drones on Bankova on their geopolitical bingo card, step up and collect the prize.
For the first time in history, an official defense delegation from the Philippines landed in Kyiv. They sat down with the presidential office to talk about one very specific thing: a potential bilateral Drone Deal and battlefield tech transfer.
With Volodymyr Zelenskyy visiting Manila last year and a new embassy open, the timing makes complete sense. The Philippines currently chairs ASEAN and deals with an increasingly tense maritime neighborhood in the Indo-Pacific.
Turns out, facing down hostile expansion in contested waters makes battle-tested Ukrainian drone tactics look remarkably practical.
Modern warfare expertise has quietly become Ukraine's most sought-after diplomatic currency.
