Ukraine’s defense industry has become a global leader in drone warfare. But this advantage has a weak spot: electronics that are still made in China, Russia’s key ally.
That’s the subject of a new @AP piece featuring comments from Andrii Taganskyi, VP of Product at @SystemsOdd.
Formally, Chinese parts make up just 5% of all components, but “without those 5%, there is no camera.”
That’s why Odd Systems’ ultimate goal is full technological sovereignty: its own sensors, its own lenses, and a plant to produce them.
As a reminder, last week @SystemsOdd and @thefourthlawai announced Project Foundation, an initiative to build their own production capacity for thermal sensors.

Kurbas, the most widely used Ukrainian-made thermal camera on the frontline, is taking a step toward U.S. production.
@thefourthlawai & @SystemsOdd have signed an MoU with American defense tech company Performance Drone Works (@PDW_ai).
Today, Kurbas is supplied to more than 200 drone manufacturers. It flies on many types of unmanned systems, from Shahed interceptors to strike drones. As a reminder, our team is at @AUSAorg 2026 in Washington, D.C. this week, including Igor Nakonechnyi, CEO of Project Foundation.

Why does your thermal video feed suddenly freeze?
Here’s the thing. To remove noise and heat artifacts, the camera periodically closes and reopens a built-in shutter. It’s called the sensor’s auto-calibration or NUC (Non-Uniformity Correction).
What you can do now:
▪️ Move control to the remote: turn off auto-calibration completely and trigger sensor correction manually.
▪️ Fine-tune the automation: set your own shutter triggers (by time interval or temperature change) for a specific flight scenario.
The Fourth Law and @SystemsOdd have announced the launch of Project Foundation, a semiconductor initiative to mass-produce thermal imaging sensors for Ukraine, the rest of Europe and the United States.
The initiative covers LWIR sensor development and a network of in-house and partner-operated manufacturing facilities. It will create a new industrial base for defense and civilian needs, supplying affordable sensors to drone, vehicle, and robotics manufacturers.
