According to its own statements, Ukraine will significantly surpass Russia in the production of drones this year. “Our capacity – these are several million drones, and we are able to produce them,” Defense Minister Rustem Umyerov said on Ukrainian television.
Umyerov added that Ukraine will not give Russia a chance to overtake it in this area, as this year it will build several times more than its opponent’s production.
Ukrainians now also have their own rocket
In addition, Kiev will do everything to significantly increase missile production, Umjerow said. Just a few weeks ago, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced the development of its own ballistic missile. With this, Kiev wants to break Moscow’s dominance in the field of long-range weapons. Ukraine’s partners have not yet allowed the use of Western missiles against Russian territory.
Drones and missiles are of enormous importance to Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, which has been going on for over two and a half years. They are used to monitor the battlefield and to attack tactical and strategic targets in the hinterland.
Moscow has also recognized the importance of drones. Just a few days ago, Russian President Vladimir Putin, at a meeting of the State Armaments Commission, praised the increase in production so far to an expected 1.4 million units this year. At the same time, he called for a further increase in production figures in the coming years.
