Ukraine may be fighting a war right now, but that doesn’t mean its drone manufacturers aren’t eyeing ways to generate more funds from foreign buyers. This time on The Weekly Break Out, editors Aaron Mehta and Lee Ferran discuss a recent piece by freelancer Kollen Post about the push from Ukrainian industry for customers outside the nation’s borders now and after a potential ceasefire.

Then Naval Warfare Reporter Justin Katz comes on to talk about a recent trip to Norfolk, where he climbed aboard an aircraft carrier to pelt Navy officials with questions about its Large Scale Exercise, which is meant to stress test the Navy and the Marines’ ability to be just about everywhere at once.
