Ukraine's drone startups create affordable air, land and sea robots in secret to fight Russia
Former U.S. ambassador to NATO Kay Bailey Hutchinson discusses Biden's recent effort to show American allies that he is fit to serve as president and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's concern about delaying action against Russia. Struggling with manpower shortages, overwhelming odds and uneven international assistance, Ukraine hopes to find a strategic edge against Russia in an abandoned warehouse or a factory basement. An ecosystem of laboratories in hundreds of secret workshops is leveraging innovation to create a robot army that Ukraine hopes will kill Russian troops and save its own wounded soldiers and civilians. Defense startups across Ukraine -- about 250 according to industry estimates -- are creating the killing machines at secret locations that typically look like rural car repair shops. Employees at a startup run by entrepreneur Andrii Denysenko can put together an unmanned ground vehicle called the Odyssey in four days at a shed used by the company.
