Zelensky confirms Ukraine's drones will reach 6,000 miles in 2027 — enough to cover the entirety of Russia and able to reach as far as San Francisco from Kyiv
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the country’s drones are expected to reach a range of about 6,000 miles by 2027, enough to span the entire territory of Russia and potentially reach San Francisco from Kyiv. The extended range is part of a broader effort to expand drone production through cooperation with the United States, including joint manufacturing and technology exchanges. Zelensky discussed these plans in an interview with American commentator Laura Loomer, while noting ongoing technical challenges.
- ▪Zelensky confirmed that Ukrainian drones should exceed 4,000 km in 2026 and aim for 5,000‑10,000 km (approximately 6,000 miles) by 2027.
- ▪The projected range would allow a drone to cover the whole of Russia and reach distances comparable to the Kyiv‑San Francisco route.
- ▪Ukraine is pursuing joint production and technology‑exchange agreements with the United States, including possible manufacturing facilities on U.S. soil.
- ▪The initiative builds on Ukraine’s extensive experience with aerial, naval, and deep‑strike drones developed during its war with Russia.
