Britain to send drones after Ukraine strikes in Kyiv with the new technology

• Britain’s plans to significantly increase drone funding for new, more advanced strike capabilities, according to 2026-07-02
• The Guardian reports fibre optic FPV drones, a technology that could make it harder for other technologies to counter them
• AP reports that the incoming RF attack on Kyiv with drones, which left 17 people dead

In the meantime, Ukraine’s military is developing tactics for using new drones, and at the same time finding ways to reduce the role of technology that could make them harder to counter. The Guardian writes that fibre optic first-person drones with a cable connection, which makes them difficult to jam, could be the next step. With such an approach, other tanks, litters and logistical obstacles might be unable to prevent the use of these drones. In such conditions, the enemy can still use the drones, but it will be harder to counter them.

As The Guardian noted, what Britain’s plan aims to do is provide additional opportunities for using new drone strike strategies, which, according to 2026-07-02, will be implemented in the NATO framework. The plan also includes funding 5 billion dollars for drones, which can be used for attacks, where the enemy will be unable to stop them, and where the enemy will have to respond. In addition, it is expected that the new technology will make it harder for the enemy to use drones against Ukraine.

Meanwhile, AP reports that the Russian attack on Ukraine continues. The AP report says the scale of strikes on Kyiv from the ongoing drone attack has increased, with at least 17 people killed. It also notes that Russia’s ongoing attacks have become a serious problem for the Ukrainian military and civilians.

The Guardian also claims that the new technology could help Ukraine counter drone attacks more effectively. It is expected that in 2026 the role of drone warfare will increase, and the new approach will make it harder to jam drones. The text also notes that the Kremlin has been developing drone warfare tactics and could use them against Ukraine.

However, according to AP, the U.S. is also providing support. The AP report says that the U.S. team in the playoffs defeated the German team with a score of 2-0, and it also notes that the match was watched by millions. NBC News reported that the U.S. team is preparing to play the next match against the Empire State team.
