## Resource

Germany is making a major move, reportedly donating fifty thousand Shrike attack drones to Ukraine — one of the largest Western drone packages yet. These cutting-edge first-person-view drones, built by Ukrainian firm SkyFall and powered by U.S. tracking tech from Auterion, are designed to lock onto and strike moving targets with precision. While details remain classified for security reasons, the Shrike has already gained traction, even winning a Pentagon competition. Auterion is supplying up to 100,000 drones this year across multiple Western partners, including a $50 million Pentagon contract for 33,000 units already delivered. This follows Britain’s pledge of 150,000 drones — signaling a growing Western consensus that drone tech is critical to Ukraine’s defense.
