War-Tested Drone Maker Gets $700M to Build for Global Allies

UFORCE, a defense technology company founded in Ukraine, has raised $700 million in Series A funding at a $6 billion valuation. The round was co-led by Valor Equity Partners and the UK's National Wealth Fund, with participation from several other investment funds, reflecting a surge in investor confidence in battlefield-proven autonomous systems.

The capital will fund expanded manufacturing of drones and robotic systems in the United States, Europe, and allied markets, aiming to move production closer to international customers. With its products like the NEMESIS drone and MAGURA sea vessel already logging hundreds of thousands of combat missions, this massive investment signals a strategic shift toward scaling production of combat-tested defense technology for a global market.
