Ukrainian manufacturers of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are actively seeking partnerships in Japan and Taiwan, offering drone systems that have been tested in combat during the war with Russia. The push comes as demand for unmanned capabilities rises across Asia, driven by increasing tensions between China and Taiwan. The Ukrainian companies hope that their real-world combat experience will give them an edge over other international competitors. Japan and Taiwan are both looking to modernize their military capabilities, including unmanned systems, to bolster defenses against potential threats. This collaboration could expand Ukraine's defense industry exports and facilitate technology transfer.
