On Monday, the Canadian government unveiled plans to send more than 800 drones to Ukraine. It is anticipated that these operations will begin in early spring. The Department of National Defence emphasized how integral drones are in aiding Ukraine’s conflict against Russia, stating their significance for surveillance, intelligence gathering and supply transport – which includes munitions.
The drone deployment, comprising SkyRanger R70 multi-mission Unmanned Aerial Systems manufactured by Teledyne in Waterloo, Ontario and valued at over $95 million Canadian ($70 million USD), forms one segment of a larger military aid package to Ukraine worth $500 million Canadian ($370 million USD).
