U.S. seen seeking Ukrainian drone technology IP; expert says similar to China Boeing tech transfer

Analysts say the United States is seeking to secure intellectual property tied to Ukraine\'s drone technology, focusing on battlefield-proven software, operational know-how and production methods rather than expanding formal defence cooperation. Experts draw parallels to how China obtained Boeing aerospace technology through joint manufacturing deals. They say the Pentagon is interested in AI-based terminal guidance and navigation that works without GPS, while Ukraine continues to expand multiyear drone cooperation programmes.
