A former US nuclear-sub commander, a Ukrainian fund, and a plan to shield Odesa with drone swarms

Ukraine can't fully export its weapons yet — but its battle-tested tech is so in demand that two Ukrainian players just went to Denmark.

A former US nuclear-sub commander, a Ukrainian fund, and a plan to shield Odesa with drone swarms

A former US nuclear submarine commander and a Ukrainian investment fund are collaborating on a plan to protect the port city of Odesa from drone attacks. Resist.UA, a Ukrainian fund, has agreed to invest in BlueShadow, a Danish maritime-defense startup led by Maher, a former US Navy submarine commander. BlueShadow's technology, which combines data from various sources and AI to detect threats, will be used in BlueDragon, a prototype drone system aimed at defending Odesa.

The drones, when fully deployed, will form autonomous swarms to intercept Russian attack drones. TAF Industries, a drone maker, will produce its first batch of FPV drones in Denmark by the end of 2026 through a joint venture with Danish firm Upteko.
