Foreign reports, citing a person familiar with the matter, say Germany is funding procurement of 50,000 attack drones for Ukraine — one of the largest known Western government drone orders for Kyiv. The order covers SkyFall’s Shrike FPV drones, fitted with Auterion software that can perform autonomous terminal‑phase tracking and engagement of moving targets, Auterion CEO Lorenz Meier confirmed. Meier said the contract is worth about €90m (≈$103m), funded by a European country; some units have been delivered to the Ukrainian government and the remainder are due this year. SkyFall has confirmed German participation in the purchase.
