If their military industrial complex survives in good condition by the end of the war, they will be in prime position for low to mid level military exports in all fields except naval and aircraft (im counting drones as their own field of expertise)

im counting drones as their own field of expertise

Anders Puk Nielsen recently stated that Ukraine is probably already among the world leaders in drones , and they are developing better ones at a crazy pace.

So yes, that sounds like it could become a market for them.

"Could"?!

Drones have completely flipped strategy and doctrine on its head in less than 5 years with no solid counter in sight.

Military drone sales are going to explode in the next decade, without a doubt

β€œCould”?!

They might keep them to themselves, and use them to take over the world. πŸ˜‹
Nah it's just because the future isn't set, so I generally treat things in the future as hypotheticals.

The β€œnaval” β€œdrones” or mini kamikaze boats or whatever you wanna call them too.

Ukraine is an expert in RC.

Hence drones being a separate field of expertise

Does the naval things count as drones? I thought drones were only flying which is why I made this reply.

Anything unmanned also counts. UGVs, USVs, UUVs, UAVs, etc.
