基辅电——据三位知情人士透露，美国和乌克兰政府已起草一份备忘录， outlining两国间一份潜在新防务协议的条款。
这份由美国国务院与乌克兰驻美大使奥莉加·斯特凡尼希娜敲定的草案，是迈向防务协议的第一步，该协议将允许乌克兰向美国出口军事技术，并与美国企业组建合资企业生产无人机。
在伊朗局势紧张期间，乌克兰充分利用了该国军方与国防承包商在与俄罗斯长达四年多的艰苦冲突中摸索出的创新技术。基辅已向中东派遣无人机拦截机和飞行员，协助美国盟友防御俄罗斯曾用于袭击乌克兰城镇的同款伊朗设计的“沙赫德”系列无人机。

过去两个月，乌克兰已与沙特阿拉伯、卡塔尔和阿联酋签署防务协议，乌克兰官员表示，更多协议正在筹备中。

“目前有近20个国家处于不同合作阶段：已签署4项协议，相关协议下的首批合同正在筹备中，”乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基在Telegram上表示。
2025年8月，特朗普总统私下赞扬了“蜘蛛网行动”——乌克兰无人机深入俄罗斯后方发动的大胆袭击行动后，乌克兰官员首次向白宫提出无人机领域合作的想法。在此次行动中，乌克兰飞行员远程操控从偷运进俄罗斯的不起眼卡车中部署的自爆无人机，摧毁了停放在俄罗斯各地机场跑道上的数十架俄军战机。
填补预算与生产能力缺口
乌克兰官员告诉CBS新闻，与美国的无人机合作将实现互利共赢，因为美国的资金将帮助两国扩大国防生产规模。
乌克兰国家安全委员会预计，2026年国防生产能力将达到550亿美元。乌克兰战略工业部顾问尤里·萨克表示，为实现这一产能，乌克兰需要更多外部资金，因为基辅今年目前仅能负担约150亿美元的武器采购费用。
乌克兰还擅长制造美国此前未 prioritized 的武器系统。乌克兰一家制造商计划在2026年生产超过300万架低成本第一人称视角军用无人机。相比之下，美国2025年仅生产了30万架。
乌克兰企业还在开发创新的电子战方法和硬件。乌克兰国防公司Sine Engineering研发的技术可让无人机在无GPS制导的情况下飞行以规避信号干扰，该公司近期获得了美乌重建投资基金的数百万美元投资。
已有多家乌克兰企业将其技术带到美国。今年3月，乌克兰最大的无人机制造商之一General Cherry与美国军用制造商威尔科克斯工业公司签署协议，将在美国境内生产无人驾驶飞行器（UAV）。
五角大楼还邀请乌克兰企业参与其“无人机主导权”计划，该计划预算达11亿美元，旨在为美国军方合同遴选无人机供应商。
但一项可能让更多乌克兰技术进入美国的更广泛防务协议，仍面临政治障碍。
从“缺乏支持”到“乌克兰的利好消息？”
乌克兰官员告诉CBS新闻，他们感受到国防部和白宫高层“缺乏支持”，尤其是在伊朗局势紧张以来。特朗普总统曾公开拒绝乌克兰向中东供应反无人机技术的努力。
“我们不需要他们在无人机防御方面提供帮助，”特朗普今年3月初对福克斯新闻表示，“我们比任何人都更了解无人机，事实上，我们拥有世界上最好的无人机。”
乌克兰的战时需求本身也带来了挑战。
泽连斯基曾表示，只有在基辅能够确保乌克兰企业的知识产权得到保护，且在持续的俄罗斯入侵中仍能为乌克兰国防提供足够补给的情况下，政府才会放宽广泛的军事出口限制。
但基辅与华盛顿之间起草的早期无人机防务协议备忘录似乎表明，这些障碍可能正在消除。
“除中东、海湾地区、南高加索和欧洲外，我们很快还将在‘无人机交易’框架下与世界另一地区启动这项新的安全合作，”泽连斯基在本周的Telegram帖子中表示，“我们正在为乌克兰准备利好消息。”
Ukraine and U.S. move toward landmark drone defense deal as Iran war highlights capabilities, and necessities

Kyiv— The governments of the U.S. and Ukraine have drafted a memorandum outlining the terms of a potential new defense deal between the countries, according to three sources familiar with the matter.
The draft hashed out by the U.S. State Department and Ukrainian Ambassador to the U.S. Olha Stefanishyna is a first step toward a defense agreement that would allow Ukraine to export military technology to the U.S. and to manufacture drones in joint ventures with American companies.
During the war in Iran, Ukraine has capitalized on innovations forged by the country’s military and defense contractors over more than four years of grueling conflict with Russia. Kyiv has sent drone interceptors and pilots to the Middle East to help U.S. allies defend against the same types of Iranian-designed Shahed drones that Russia has used to attack Ukraine’s towns and cities.

Already, over the last two months, Ukraine has signed defense agreements with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, and Ukrainian officials say more deals are in the works.

“Nearly 20 countries are currently involved at various stages: 4 agreements have already been signed, and the first contracts under these agreements are now being prepared,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Telegram.
Ukrainian officials first pitched the idea of cooperation on drones to the White House in August 2025, after President Trump privately lauded Operation Spiderweb, a daring Ukrainian drone attack deep behind Russian lines. The operation saw Ukrainian pilots remotely guide explosive drones — deployed from inconspicuous trucks that had been smuggled into Russia — to destroy dozens of Russian warplanes as they sat parked on tarmacs around the country.
Filling gaps in budgets and production capacities
Drone collaboration with the U.S., Ukrainian officials told CBS News, would be mutually beneficial, as American financing would help both countries expand their defense production output.
Ukraine’s National Security Council projects a defense production capacity of $55 billion in 2026. To realize that capacity, Ukraine will need much more external financing as Kyiv currently only has funds to buy around $15 billion worth of weapons this year, according to Yuriy Sak, an adviser to Ukraine’s Ministry of Strategic Industries.
Ukraine also excels in manufacturing weapons systems the U.S. has not previously prioritized. One Ukrainian manufacturer plans to produce more than 3 million low-cost first-person-view military drones in 2026. The U.S. built only 300,000 in 2025, by comparison.
Ukrainian companies are also developing innovative electronic warfare methods and hardware. Technology pioneered by Sine Engineering, a Ukrainian defense firm that recently received a multi-million dollar investment from the U.S.-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund, allows drones to fly without GPS guidance to evade signal-jamming.
Several Ukrainian companies have already brought their technology to the U.S. In March, General Cherry, one of Ukraine’s largest drone manufacturers, signed a deal to make unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the U.S. alongside American military manufacturer Wilcox Industries.
The Pentagon has also invited Ukrainian companies to participate in its Drone Dominance initiative, a $1.1 billion program aimed at identifying drones for U.S. military contracts.
But a broader defense agreement, which would potentially bring more Ukrainian technology to the U.S., has faced political roadblocks.
From “lack of buy-in” to “positive news for Ukraine”?
Ukrainian officials told CBS News they felt a “lack of buy-in” on a drone deal from senior figures within the Department of Defense and the White House, particularly since the war in Iran began. President Trump has publicly rebuffed Ukraine’s efforts to supply counter-drone technology to the Middle East.
“We don’t need their help in drone defense,” Mr. Trump told Fox News in early March. “We know more about drones than anybody. We have the best drones in the world, actually.”
Ukraine’s wartime necessities have presented challenges of their own.
Zelenskyy has said the government will only relax broad military export restrictions after Kyiv can be certain that Ukrainian companies’ intellectual property is protected, and that they’re still able to deliver sufficient supplies for Ukraine’s defense amid the ongoing Russian invasion.
But the memorandum drafted between Kyiv and Washington on an early-stage drone deal appears to suggest those obstacles may be falling away.
“In addition to the Middle East and the Gulf, the South Caucasus, and Europe, we will soon launch this new security cooperation within the framework of Drone Deals with another part of the world as well,” Zelenskyy said in his Telegram post this week. “We are preparing positive news for Ukraine.”
