Ukraine agrees to export drones to US for Pentagon plan, source says

Ukraine has agreed to export drones to the United States for the Pentagon’s Drone Dominance programme, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters. The agreement comes as Kyiv and Washington negotiate a broader drone deal for Ukrainian unmanned systems, driven by wartime demand and interest from other countries. Six Ukrainian companies have received permission to export about 100 drones each. There was no immediate official comment from Kyiv or Washington. Drone Dominance is a billion-dollar Pentagon competition testing small attack drones against simulated battlefield adversity.
