US to supply Ukraine with 50,000 AI drones
American Auterion and Skyfall provide 50 thousand AI-equipped Shrike UAVs with target tracking without GPS and radio connection to Ukraine for $100M.
American company Auterion and manufacturer of Skyfall signed a $100M contract. This money will be used to purchase 50 thousand Shrike FPV drones with Skynode S AI targeter. Drones are able to automatically aim at targets in conditions of jamming of navigation satellite signals and absence of radio communication. Combat drones were delivered to the battlefield of Ukraine starting from July 2026
Swarm tactics will be implemented via firmware update. You can buy a low cost FPV drone for several hundreds of dollars and turn it into a multi-million dollar device. So we change the rules of aerial warfare
