Only by taking annual production (4 million) and averaging it daily, but that's not daily actual production and includes all drones (many small FPVs).

Given that comment said “in the order of 10 thousand” and that he gave a single number and not a number for a particular day, I think we can assume that daily is a daily average.

You mean, because maybe most drone production stops on Sundays or something?

Under these circumstances, if the UK is sending thousands of small FPVs it would be insignificant.

I don't think they are your usual small FPVs. They should be designed to take out incoming Shaheds at high altitudes.

Do Shaheds fly at high altitudes? Are we talking about Shahed-136 here? I thought flying low was one of their main advantages! I don't think Anvil can reach high altitudes. I mean it's a battery-powered quadcopter.

We're speculating based on very little information here. At least you didn't spell it "Shaheed".

Recent tactic adaptation is to fly at altitude 2-3 km to avoid mobile ground air defense groups.

There are already available different FPV designs used to successfully intercept Shaheds, loitering munitions and reconnaissance drones.
