- WSJ quoting Austin Gray, a former US Navy intelligence officer who now works for an UAV manufacturing company:
American defense tech firms have been testing their drones in Ukraine for months, but now some of them are leaving their drones in storage because they can't work perfectly in the harsh conditions of the Ukrainian battlefield.
U.S. firms don't have mass-market drones that cost only a few thousand dollars, which is what Ukraine needs to replace the DJI Mavic-3, China's ubiquitous tool on the front lines.
The Pentagon or the Department of Commerce could encourage American firms to enter the market for cheaper drones, but they can't buy drones that aren't in large numbers.

For the de-occupation of our lands, 48 fighters for four squadrons are needed. This is stated in the Ministry of Defense. Although even two or three can help solve a number of problems:

▪️Shoot down drones and wings. rockets;
▪️help land. formations in the offensive and defense.
Today, the United States alone has hundreds of F-16s. In Europe, Romania, Portugal, Poland, Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands have them. The last trio – may be potential donors for us. After all, they are now moving to the 5th generation of aircraft.
The Netherlands has 42 F-16s. Of these, 24 are in service, you can not count on them until mid-2024, until they are replaced by the F-35. Another 18 pieces were wanted to be sold to Draken in 2021, but this spring it became known that the deal was cancelled. Delivery to Ukraine now looks like a realistic scenario.
Denmark should receive up to 17 F-35s by the end of 2023. In theory, she can supply us with a squadron of F-16s (12 aircraft). In total, Denmark has 77 F-16s, but as of 2016, there were about 30 in service. They are also planned to be replaced by F-35s.
