Kyiv transferred close to 2,700 unmanned aerial vehicles and a dozen robotic ground platforms to the 5th Separate Assault Brigade, Mayor Vitali Klitschko announced on 6 November 2026.
The shipment comprises 2,200 first-person-view drones, 450 reconnaissance drones including Mavic 3 Pro and Matrice 4 models, 28 kamikaze drones, 10 fixed-wing craft and two strike bomber systems. Klitschko stated that the capital has supplied more than 65,000 unmanned aerial vehicles to frontline military units since the start of 2026.
The handover followed an allocation of an extra 1 billion hryvnias ($22 million) approved by the Kyiv City Council on 5 November, which increased the municipality's total 2026 defence support to 6 billion hryvnias ($132 million).
