Skycutter warns of UK exit

Skycutter, a UK-based drone manufacturer, may relocate to the US due to slow government support. The company recently secured a $200m (£151m) contract with the US military, prompting concerns about its future in the UK. Skycutter has developed drones for Ukraine and is considering its options. A Ministry of Defence spokesperson said that since July 2024, “we have signed nearly 1,200 major contracts, with 93% of that spend going to UK-based companies.”
