In spring 2022, a Ukrainian grain trader taped a grenade to a quadcopter that had been filming weddings. That man, Robert "Madiar" Brovdi, is now the commander of Ukraine's drone forces.
Four years later, Madiar's unit is a separate branch of Ukraine's armed forces. He says it killed or wounded 102,000 Russians in the past 12 months—one in every three Russian soldiers falling on the battlefield, by his count.
A few hundred dollars per drone. "The best exchange rate in the world," Madiar said.

If there is one thing our dear friend Donald Trump should have learned from his dear friend Benjamin Netanyahu, it is that good negotiations are only conducted under fire.
Any other equation is irrelevant.
