Speculation centred on whether the drones are a 3D-printed suicide drone made by the UK defence company QinetiQ. “We want to create this jets coalition and I’m very positive with it,” Zelenskiy said. But that demand was dropped because it was deemed impractical, and Ukraine went back to calling for F-16s. One drone expert voiced concern that the UK and other European countries seemed focused on supplying “ever more lethal military hardware”. Ukraine is expected launch a counteroffensive shortly as the weather improves, although Zelenskiy said it was not yet ready.
