The Ukrainian Miracle
Andrew Sullivan’s May 1, 2026 post, “The Ukrainian Miracle,” celebrates Ukraine’s wartime resilience and rapid innovation in unmanned‑air systems. He highlights how volunteer brigades such as Azov have fielded low‑cost commercial drones for surveillance, intelligence and strike missions, turning a modest tech base into a battlefield advantage. The piece argues that Europe is finally recognizing Ukraine’s homegrown drone ecosystem, prompting a surge in defense‑spending and procurement partnerships. Sullivan frames the development as a catalyst for a broader digital‑warfare transformation across the continent.
