Canada Pledges Over 800 Drones to Ukraine Amid War Efforts

The donation, valued at nearly $95 million, aims to bolster Ukraine's surveillance and target assessment capabilities as the conflict with Russia continues.

Canada's Defence Minister Bill Blair announced the donation of more than 800 drones to support Ukraine's war effort against Russia.
The SkyRanger R70 drones, valued at nearly $95 million, are expected to enhance Ukraine's surveillance and reconnaissance missions.
The drones are part of a larger $500-million military aid package from Canada, with delivery anticipated by spring 2024.
This move comes as Ukraine marks two years since the full-scale invasion by Russia, with calls for increased military assistance from Western allies.
