How easy it is to forget that Ukraine was a nuclear power. And I don't mean just that it had nuclear weapons, but that it was instrumental in Russia's entry into the nuclear game. Ukrainian physicists in Ukrainian physics institutes independently came up with knowledge that was crucial to the nuclear game. In many ways, Ukraine was the seat of much of the USSR's advances in physics.

Now, they are devoting that intellectual resource to help Ukraine prosper, not the USSR.

They are a phenomenally intellectually advanced country that Canadian Universities will do well to partner with.

I was hoping we'd go back to our perogies and cabbage rolls pact but drones and defense is the next best thing! Hoping for a free and independent Ukraine in the very near future!

As. Canadian that headline makes me smile. I hope we can support them from any aggression, like both Russia and US was supposed to from signed agreements when they gave up their nukes. Anything from either aggressor is signed in pencil as we all know...maybe crayon depending on leader competence.

Also will help us Canadians to learn such drone knowledge and tactics (if not outward but by design on how to use them) when our neighbors decide they're getting bored. Okay maybe Russia doesn't technically border us but may as well these days.

Excellent partnership, these will be battle field tested and iterated drones and anti-drone equipment, which both nations need badly.
