Draganfly shares surge 11.42% after-hours after securing U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command drone training partnership with DelMar Aerospace.

Draganfly Inc. (DPRO) surged 11.42% in after-hours trading following the announcement that it was selected to provide its Draganfly Flex FPV drones and training to U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command units in partnership with DelMar Aerospace. This recent contract, reported by GlobeNewswire three days prior, highlights growing demand for the company’s defense-focused drone solutions and strengthens its positioning in the military and security markets. The news aligns with earlier analyst optimism, including Northland’s "Outperform" rating and H.C. Wainwright’s reaffirmed $14 price target, which cited strong momentum in intelligent drone adoption. While other updates, such as DPRO’s new manufacturing facility or international collaborations, were noted in prior weeks, the immediate catalyst for the after-hours rally was the high-profile U.S. military partnership, signaling expanded revenue potential and operational validation.
