There’s a chance the dreaded buzz of propellers heard on Ukrainian battlefields is coming from drones built in a country with a population of just over a million on Europe’s southeastern fringe: Cyprus.
According to Associated Press Manufacturer Swarmly says there are more than 200 of its H-10 Poseidon drones helping Ukrainian artillery batteries pinpoint enemy targets on the ground in all kinds of weather, racking up more than 100,000 hours in the air over the last three years.
Its 5,000-square-meter factory — where the whir of grinders shaping composite plastics reverberates off the walls — has become a major source of uncrewed vehicles shipped to countries such as Indonesia, Benin, Nigeria, India and Saudi Arabia, according to company officials.
Most of the factory floor is reserved for uncrewed aerial vehicle manufacture.
But tucked in a secure storage area is a selection of Swarmly’s super-fast marine drones replete with high-definition cameras and .50-caliber machine guns.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has driven even the smallest European Union member countries to develop their home-grown, high-tech defense industries, just as necessity has made Kyiv a world leader in cutting-edge UAV technology.
Many EU countries have partnered with Kyiv to develop that technology ,and Ukraine’s front lines are usually their testing grounds.
Like Cyprus, the Baltic countries and Denmark have revved up their domestic drone and counter-drone technology.
In Greece, drones are part of a 25-billion euro overhaul of its armed forces.
UAVs are reshaping warfare by offering less militarily capable countries some leverage over superior adversaries.
Drones aren’t going to completely replace big-ticket weaponry like tanks, artillery and warplanes, said Federico Borsari, an expert with the Washington-based Center for European Policy Analysis.
But they offer flexibility and bang for the buck, making them a formidable force multiplier.
Take Swarmly’s explosives-packed, satellite-guided Hydra marine drone.
Each one costs 80,000 euros, which means deploying a group of them to neutralize a billion-euro warship can be a bargain, said company director Gary Rafalovsky.
This sort of naval weapon taking out a much larger warship is already evidenced by Houthi attacks from Yemen, according to Fabian Hinz, a research fellow for missile technologies and UAVs at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, Europe.
Barriers to entry for undercapitalized companies are low, he added, because UAVs are often designed and assembled from components cheaply and readily available on the global market.
Russia’s war in Ukraine and the Trump administration’s mixed messages that have strained relations with NATO allies have forced European leaders to reckon with the need to become more self-reliant on defense.
So the EU has made billions of euros available to encourage investment and bolster its collective deterrent capability. That’s been a boost to nations like Cyprus, which assumed the six-month EU presidency on January 1.
