In 2025, more than 30,000 long-range strike drones are planned to be supplied to the troops. Some of these UAVs were financed by international partners who invested in the Ukrainian defense industry, Defense Minister Rustem Umerov said.
“The Ministry of Defense continues to increase investments in the development of high-tech systems. This not only meets the needs of the frontline, but also supports the defense industry, creates jobs and develops Ukrainian technologies,” the minister said.
Umerov noted that these new generation drones are capable of operating autonomously over long distances and hitting enemy targets with high accuracy.
“We are demonstrating to the world: Ukraine is capable of innovation and technological independence. Even in times of war, we are developing state-of-the-art production, strengthening our defense capabilities,” the minister concluded.
