US Buys 1,320 more FPV drones from Ukraine’s F-Drones for $6.5M

Ukrainian company F-Drones, which sent 2,000 drones to the US under the Drone Dominance programme, has received a new Pentagon order. The US military is buying another 1,320 of its F10 strike drones.

The company clarified that the unit price under the new contract will match the previous order. Under the first phase of Drone Dominance, the Pentagon purchased drones from the winning manufacturers at an average price of $5,000 per unit. This puts the value of F-Drones’ new US contract at more than $6.5 million.

CEO Stanislav Khutor stated that the order is planned to be fulfilled by the end of November. The manufacturer is currently going through the process of obtaining an export permit. He also added that its production capacity allows it to fulfil additional orders without detriment to deliveries to the front.

On the US market, F-Drones is represented by UDD Tech Corp. In early 2026, it took part in the first phase of Drone Dominance, in which the Americans test drones from various manufacturers.

UDD was among the 11 winners and received a contract to supply 2,000 drones to the US. The company has already sent them to the customer and, according to its data, this is the first case of Ukraine officially permitting the export of finished Ukrainian-made combat drones.

UDD also took part in the second phase of Drone Dominance but did not win. At the same time, Ukraine’s SkyFall made it into the top five, as did, as Defender Media knows, another Ukrainian company that does not publicise its participation.
