Working with the ukrainian IT companies is always a pleasure. Not many people know that Grammarly, Gitlab, Ajax and many more companies have origins in Ukraine
God, I'm so sick of Grammarly ads.
I did not know i just heard on this video i quickly uninstalled it Ukrainian spyware
yes. specially regarding corruption. it's really a pleasure
You mean that Ukraine had an actual cyber police team ? Hence why they were able to funnel money for this war ?
@@The_real_sock_puppet_account It's pretty clear you've uninstalled it given the message grammar =)
"Why do we need to be innovative? To survive" - Quote from Maria Berlianska in the video was so powerful and meaningful. Thank you for this video!
innovations and technology.
propaganda is the most advance science, yet it is not thought at schools.
It is easier to fool someone, than to convince someone they have been fooled. Artillery is the only thing that matters in a land war. Go look up how much artillery Russian artillery batteries use in one day, compared to Ukrainian batteries use in a day. It doesn't matter how many feminist veterans are interviewed, 60,000 High Explosive shells don't care. 500-700 young Ukrainian men a day sure as hell were not waiting for some tech company to make trinkets. For every day that this stupid, unnecessary war goes on, 500-700 Ukrainian men. Yes MEN, (the women left and the 17 year old boys are just praying they don't get conscripted), are simply waiting their turn. They're just waiting for the one with their name on it to turn them into pink mist.

@@cq4fun agreed that 🇷🇺------>🚽
“Those who were able to survive, no matter what, are exceptional.” Yes, you Ukrainians are exceptional. Slava Ukraine!
This is just incorrect. If you watched any of this drone killing; you come away understanding that it doesn't matter how many years of Special Operations missions you've been on, how low your BMI is, how many 5 minute miles you can run, how excellent of a Scout Sniper you are, how many kills you have, the drone doesn't care. And as soon as you relax to drink some water, you are going to be knocked out from a shockwave, shrapnel rips through your jugular, and you bleed out in the dirt. From what most people consider an annoying toy.
There is nothing exceptional about those who survive. Those who survived were the women and children who left the country. The courageous, young volunteers have mostly died in this stupid, inexcusable, unnecessary war. NATO countries are full of pompous, idiotic commentators pontificating on weapons and tactics, telling everyone why Ukraine is kicking Russia's rear end.
Ukraine is losing, it doesn't have enough lives to waste. It doesn't matter if combined arms coordinated assaults are tried, or light infantry sappers are used. The point still stands. Russian artillery, Russian thermonuclear warheads, they are both beyond the capabilities of all of NATO combined.
Everyone knew this in February 2022. So how did everyone go from "Wow Ukraine might actually be able to hold Russia off for a while"
To today
"Come on, what is taking Ukraine so long? Don't they know how to conduct a counteroffensive? They should use the magical US weapons to immediately win"
That's the power of propaganda. Ask yourself, how would you get any information from the other side? Or battlefield numbers, footage and reports? You aren't allowed as a citizen in NATO. You have your opinions dictated to you.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is why Ukraine will prevail!
Why, because they put together drones?
@@feedyourmind6713 no because more Russians will find their death in more original ways
@@grievetan Considering the vid was about how Ukraine was finding new methods of fighting Russia via drone attacks, what does your "more original ways" even mean? What method of killing Russian troops do you feel they've not already tried?
@@feedyourmind6713because 🇷🇺 dwells in the dark and steal 🚽s by thieves who don't have sewers, but is great for drinking water storage 🤷🏼♂️
@@feedyourmind6713it's extremely effective. They're amazing because of their drive. Their will to fight after decades of living under Soviet rule and Russian influence motivates them is incredible. Also, I've heard on multiple times that whenever NATO countries are training them in a new weapons system they always excel at picking up how to use it. They've come up with many ways to make this counteroffensive happen without air support.
Ukraine will prevail and be one of the strongest country in the scene in future decades. Slava Ukrainii! 🇺🇦❤
Ukrainians are absolutely incredible! The will of the people to just say FYOU to Russia and to strive to develop new technology and rebuild their lives and country while there is still a war going on is inspiring. Stay strong Ukraine ❤️ for Wales UK 💪🏽

I wish all of you in this video the best in all your endeavors. Ukraine never fails to impress me with it’s resilience, ingenuity & beauty. As to evil moscovia, I curse you forever. Slava Ukraini…Glory to the heroes 🇺🇦 🌻 💪
A well presented and constructed video - I have donated to the Ukraine war effort, I wish it was closer to the million dollar level, but I do what I can now and tomorrow....
Thank you! Every help is important
Great journalism. Put faces behind this amazing drone powerhouse. Ukraine will thrive as a military tech country.

Well, as a testing ground for United States Defense arms manufacturers.
@@lew6598predatory western investment groups have already bought up Ukraine’s vital infrastructure - this is all the west is defending.
They care less for Ukrainians than they do Hawaiians.
It’s a land grab from the globalists in the west that’s got a bit messy, nothing more.
So good to see the development of drones industries in Ukraine. Other countries and business people should help financially and with components. Hopefully one day these drones will fly from Ukraine to Russia to give Russians same feeling they are giving Ukraine.
That will not happen because Ukrainians are not targeting civilians and not going to invade the neighboring country.
Your wish has already come true. Drones hit the financial heart of Moscow during the night from Saturday to Sunday.
yeah but russian revenge is much worse
@@daledeneen on weekend and at night, in an empty building.
Absolutly.
I hope people are sending Ukraine mass production equipment like stamping presses and automated assembly equipment. The idea is to start drone assembly lines to produce thousands of drones instead of hundreds of drones.

Excellent tech!. Go on Ukrainians!. The creativity and brave actions will win the war!

Superb work and remarkable resilience of these brave young engineers and technicians who are a credit to themselves and their proud country and will be an incredible asset to the Europe of the future as opposed to the negative backwardness of the invaders who are determined to drive themselves into oblivion and out of the civilised world
I'm secretly laughing because I think you're training for stand-up comedy, but then I think about what the character of a man who might really believe in this looks like. eeeeeehhh, then I get sad
I and my little brother have started getting into drone racing and building drones because it's a valuable skill in terms of national defense.
You didn't mention Monobank. I think they are great at making it easy to donate even from outside Ukraine.
Slava Ukraine. The beauty is that you give your talents and education back to your country, don't run away with it like ruzzians.
Good luck to Ukraine!!!
I admire the ukranian will to defend their country and their creativity in doing so.
In case some of them are reading this: have you already thought about adding toroidal propellers to your drones?
They are a quite new design and have two significant advantages over the usual ones: they are very silent and far more energy efficient.
I know you are already using 3d-printing for other parts of this aircrafts, so I´d suggest to give it a try.
If you are already doing so, nevermind.
I wish you guys all the best and maximal success!
You are defending not just ukraine, but in some way all of us in the free world today. We owe you big time..

And half of the world just watching.
This non sense war could end in one day.
How does this comment have so many likes? Lol.
"Overcome and move toward success" sounds like a LinkedIn tagline, not like a description of a quarter million dead Ukrainians, or 20,000 amputees.
Think about that, 20,000 people are missing limbs for life. "Success" haha. Russia will always be Ukraine's neighbor. That's one thing that NATO doesn't have to worry about. Once Ukraine has been spent, and the US finally allows peace talks to resume.
For Ukraine every live matters, for Russia no life matters.
I think you're getting the whole Russian mentality wrong. Putin's life matters (until the next dictator takes over).
One of the best videos I've seen about Ukraine!
During the Cold War, the CIA viewed Ukrainians as the brains and brawn of the Soviet Union. Without the brain, the body flops like a Russian. Glory to Ukraine. Glory to the Heroes
Thanks for an excellent, insightful video
Someone said “Necessity is the mother of invention.” The brave, resilient people of Ukraine are a shining example of the truth of this statement. May God bless them all and save Ukraine. May He give the Ukrainian people the continued strength of character, courage and determination to stand up to the evil that has been visited on them.
Many people don't understand the Ukrainian Spirit. We were hardened by hundreds of years of brutal repression and misrepresentation, this war is a reminder and yet another good, I emphasize GOOD reason to not only persevere but also thrive as a sovereign nation well capable of outstanding technological innovation.
Great response and spirit.
@@jonathanrpuThe same "Ghost of Kiev" spirit. Spiritualists.
WE MUST TEACH THE WORLD WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE A HOHOL. Bravo, tovarishi
"Sovereign nation"
How many citizens were asked permission for the continued waging of this stupid, unnecessary war?
They never are, the propaganda does that for you. Ever since the Spanish-America war, convenient tragedies have manufactured consent for our wars. Don't think you need to sacrifice a generation of Ukrainian men for fake idealism and hatred.
I wish you a quick victory, but don't fool yourself, you have lots of internal issues to take care of. If you don't, military victory will be followed by political defeat.
Amazing and insightful journalist work. Big thanks to the team.
A great motivational video. Cannot wait to see what else comes out of Ukraine's IT war chest. And also how its IT industry benefits Ukraine after hostilities cease and Ukraine is welcomed into the EU.
Inspiring, great to see the use of low cost laser cutters, 3D printers and excellent DIY skills, just sad to see this under these circumstances.
With all my heart slava Ukraine.
These young ukrainian patriotic men and women are genious and great help to the struggle of their freedom.🎉 More power to you.❤
Stay strong Cossacks 🇺🇦🤙
This is fascinating to see, civilians directly contributing to combat at such a hands on and innovative level. It's no longer just workers in steel factories making munitions and guns, but also inventors innovating and manufacturing in their workshops and their work being shipped directly to defences or the front line.
Also imagine being the guy having to tell the russian command that you used 5 $1k+ rounds to take down a $200 drone lol 🤣
That's how the world shaping itself for the AGI overtake. Military drones and acoustick detectors networks. Good stuff!
What an amazing video!!!!
WOW! Stunning, Absolutely stunning!
Ukraine is a formidable test bed for the American arms industry.
Nonsense. Most of new arms are classified. No one would test them in the foreign country, especially risking exposing them to ruzzia
Thanks for your service in the Land Army Farmers Ukraine Standard 🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇦🙏
Ukraine was the tech center of the soviet union
A lot of countries wish they had drone boats like those invented in Ukraine.
Actually? They wish they had the iranian ones. Possibly the asian ones. Of course the American ones. You can follow the global drone market if you have a brain, computer and internet connection. Ukraine is not a player or relevant nation in any way. The war is awful but that does not mean we should lie and exaggerate the failure or successes of ukraine.
@@Tubernameu123lol mate read 📚 a book. Ya might learn summat. Burnt lol 😆

Try to invent a dome like protection to prevent missiles and aircraft intruders. If you can create an athmoshere like pressure it will repel foreign matters entering your skies👍✌️
Great content !!!
I really enjoyed this. Thank you to all involved.
Im so impressed with Ukraine and its people.
About year ago i started to think if we could use basic ans cheap microphones to locate drones, as they are pretty loud. Spread them out, cheap connection too internet, and you can see where there are going and where they are. Even big country as Ukraina, you could make so wide network of microphones that it would cover whole country. Good that they are doing something like that
Was pretty much the first thing that came to mind when it became obvious how loud Shahed-136 drones are. Few cheap mobile phones, some parabolic dishes to increase gains, some signal detection software, networked with basic triangulation.
Also think it could be used for targeting in theory.
Great video, a must see.
Slava Ukraine!
Fantastic coverage and production.
Thanks for sharing. This is a scary time we live in.
Like any weapon development, it is never a good thing.
But, to survive, it is the only path forward.
There will be a payoff in terms of the lessons learned.
I know this lesson will include the knowledge that war is a profoundly bad concept and idea.
But also, that the technology developed, in peace time, will help to improve agricultural yield, construction, infrastructure development, and improved monitoring systems of all sorts of kind. These are the components I hope they can sell (rather than the weapons, and defense specific items)
Hatts off to Resilient Ukraine 🇺🇦
cost is so important, to be able to build these drones cheap while they are still precise is awesome to bind expencive enemy troups and maybe even using expencive defensive measures. And the kamikazedrones are far cheaper than a 155mm artillery shell.
Great uplifting video!
GLORY to ukraine and the heroes of Ukraine!! 🇺🇦❤🇯🇲!! The world stands strong with UKRAINE!!❤❤❤
What "world" are you talking about?
This is fantastic! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
When putin was about to declare partial mobilisation, 1000s of people like this (young, intelligent, educated) were leaving Russia!
People like this weren't leaving Ukraine, so Ukraine has a massive amount of people, capable of working on projects like this! 👍
I hope that we, as allies, are sending the raw materials needed for Ukraine to design whatever they need. I know that they are getting drones, but being able to adapt and create is key, i think.
Sending lots of love, from the uk 🏴🇬🇧🌍💜🕊️☮️🇺🇦🌻🌹
Passive radar is the way to go for detecting missiles and stealth aircraft from 100-150 miles away.
Putting 4+1 microphones in a star pattern to detect the location of the missile sound, is an old trick used by Americans in Afghanistan to pin point the location of snipers.
If you can hear it, it's too close.
the idea is to recognize those flying targets and to track them on their way across the country. sometimes firing 1 mil worth patriot missile against shahed drone is a stupid idea, so its possible to intercept it with cheaper solutions while going across the country. so sound recognition is a cheap solution when its used as net across the country. as adition to radar systems
The Military Industrial Complex won't like the news being presented here. Amazing innovation.
Great documentary! Thanks for sharing it on UA-cam. The Financial Times is growing its reputation as a reliable and informative media organisation through the growing outreach of content and social media engagement. Trust me, these modern business practices will pay off and I will be a returning viewer.

Bravo, you young and super smart Ukrainians. This is how the war will be won.
Support Ukraine in War effort for survival and future prosperity! Long live Ukraine! LV UA LV UA 👍✌
ukraine fighting for all of freedom loving people around the world.
After the war, one of Ukraine's most significant export markets will be hi-tech armaments. They will have become the most advanced producer of AI-enabled drones trained under actual combat conditions.
Except they are 100% bankrupt now. They can not even manufacture their own shell casings. Like the war the only reason they have any tech is because other nations give them money. NATO fully understands this. That is why since 1991 NATO has never brought Ukraine in and they do not do it now. Ukraine is an irrelevant nation when speaking to global IT, military power or general geopolitics.
Peace and stability
Thanks for this video. A lot of interesting stuff!)
I know that voice 2:07 Anastasia! Beautiful and professional and powerful. Слава Україні
Awesome you can do it... don't give up and when it's hard... development and give you best... and work hard awesome
I hope Ukraine can do more than military technology after the war. I remember what Britain did after WWII, it was the start of mass produced tractors for one. As a creative I need a camera drone with obstacle avoidance but don't like to buy from China so I would rather like some Ukrainians to sell me one. So if they could develop their surveillance drones through the war and then put on a better camera they are pretty much there.
Amazing video! Both by depth and topic.
#SLAVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦
Ukraine is a Great Country. IT is Ukraine is great! Guys, spirit, energy! Viva Ukraine!
Very impressive 👍
Very impressive.
I remember that in 1943 the tech sector became critical for Germany. They were all looking for the wonder weapons that would change the tide of the war. One big problem all their able workforce had been already commited to the front. And they had lost the means to manufacture any new wonder weapons in industrial volume. It was an industrial war of attrition.
For a country that lost, their production is awesome
Some of the Ukrainian technologies should be important to other European countries. Give them the technological and weapon support. We should collaborate and support them now. Some of their systems might be useful in the Baltic sea area.
Baltics are a pet project,
This is the longest sales pitch ever. Where do I write my check.
Ukraine rocks!!
Advertise products made in Ukraine! We will buy them! We want to help!
Silicon Valley, time to step up and develop stuff for Ukraine.
If Ukraine use an AI voice changer in the front lines impersonating Russian Commanders a game changer XD all you need is data or a voice recorder the right radio frequency
Brilliant!
This is a great morale boosting video. Contrast these people with the miserable Orcs from Mordor.
Slava Ukraini!
So nice to see drones being able to deliver a pizza with a bomb! In Iraq we experienced IEDs..now it’s drones..next war will be like the drone attacks from Guardian of the Galaxy!
Thanks for this video and for getting more attending to Ukraine. We all believe the victory is coming.
The Ukrainian Renaissance has been remarkable. I have tremendous respect and admiration for them. They remind me of what the US used to be before we became complacent and spoiled.
It's v hard not to be complacent when you're on top , but the most inspirational thing is even though the Ukrainians have had such a tough time the last 100 years they have amazing compassion and kindness.
Ukrainians are BRILLIANT People
The reason Russia invaded Ukraine was their fear of Ukraine's progress on all fronts, I observed Ukraine growing rapidly.
Slava Ukraine
And that "growth" put Western arms on Russias' only remaining land acces route to their interior. Western armies controlled the northern invasion route. Should Russia allow both of her flanks to be secured by enemy armies? Before you poo-poo this, look up how many invasions from the West Russia has endured.
@@feedyourmind6713 2 (two) invasions by the "west". First was Napoleon, second was Hitler (with whom russia collaborated till 1941). Both also invaded e.g. Spain, which is more west than they are. Now go check how many times russia invaded other countries.
UA is the most corrupt, purest countries in eu and ex-ussr. But this video should help you taxes go to support all this black comedy theater
@@feedyourmind6713Yes, Ukraine is an independent country and has the right to join NATO.
And Russia by starting this war pushed Sweden and Finland to join NATO, they made the situation even worst for themself.
+ Western armies doesn’t have the capability to invade Russia, NATO was create to defend against Russia not to attack.
France has endured many invasions from Germany, yet we have open borders with them.
And you should also look up how many times Eastern Europe was oppressed by Russia or the soviets.
@astone_ua Russo-Crineam war, Polish-Muscovite war, Ingrian war, Swedish invasion 1708, Crimean war, Japanese invasion of Sakhalin, WWI Easter Front, Caucuses campaign WWI, Western intervention in Russian Civil War '18-'25, Japanese invasion of Siberia during Russian Civil War... left the two major ones you listed off this wiki list. Now, look up Operation Unthinkable. Then look up Russian deaths just from WWII, and tell me again Russia is only paranoid. Also, look for a geographical connection I'm most of those wars abd you'll find there's really only to practical routes into Russia with big armies. One is the northern plain, now controlled by NATO, and the southern one, which NATO has its eyes on. So, not so rosy a picture for the Russian's. How many times has the US been invaded? Once, is it?
Great piece!
22:58 this is an extremely important point
God bless them and give them the knowledge they need to succede. I think the comment that they are decades behind Israei is over estimated.
Brillant minds flourish and do extrodinary things in record time and that is what is happening in Ukraine.
Ukraine's educational system was and remains extraordinary! Children attended school 6 days per week with free opportunities for afterschool classes in art, athletics, drama, dance, and music. Mathematics and science had a strong focus. Elementary school students were taught to be proficient in writing computer programs without ever having a computer. Slava Ukraini

That voice-swap tech is yet another example of sci-fi tech becoming reality. In ST:TNG, evil Data mimicked Picard.
