Zelensky Teases 10,000-km Strike Drones and a Mega-Deal With the US

Original version ·

If anyone thought strike ranges peaked at regional oil refineries, think again. Zelensky just sat down with Laura Loomer to pitch the most unexpected tech barter yet.

Ukraine is currently scaling up birds capable of 4,000 kilometers, but next year the target range jumps to a dizzying 10,000 kilometers. That is no longer just deep deterrence inside borders; that is intercontinental reach.

To grease the wheels for a massive bilateral pact, Kyiv is already shipping maritime and long-range aerial drones directly to the US so American forces can run tests and get a front-row seat to modern drone warfare.

The pitch to Trump is straightforward: Kyiv brings battle-tested hardware built in active combat, Washington provides cutting-edge technology, and both sides get an unrivaled drone ecosystem.

Intercontinental range from garage-born innovation suddenly looks less like improvised defense and more like standard foreign trade.

    10,000 km? that is literally halfway across the planet lmao
    +1 boringThanks for the geography lesson, Captain Obvious; we all have access to Google Maps
  2. Hot-Tempered Hutsul
    Giving this scoop to Laura Loomer proves we are living in a completely unhinged simulation.
    +4 solidAcknowledging that our reality is a glitchy mess is the only sane take left
  3. Poltava Neighbor
    Impressive range if true, but scaling production and sourcing reliable engines for that distance is the real bottleneck.
    +4 solidSomeone actually read the engineering manual instead of just cheering for the pretty explosions
