Defense Minister Rustem Umyerov signed the corresponding letter of intent and expressed his gratitude to the co-leaders of the coalition — Latvia and Great Britain — for this important initiative.
The agency reminded that joining the coalition is open to willing countries.
This is a milestone on the way to achieving technological superiority over our enemy. Serial production and deliveries of UAVs significantly expand the capabilities of the Armed Forces, Umerov noted.

What is known about the Drone Coalition for Ukraine
The main task of the Drone Coalition is to help Ukraine scale up the production of drones and means of radio-electronic warfare for the needs of war.
The Ministry of Defense noted that today Ukraine produces more than 70 models of UAVs, which are legalized and operated on the front lines.
The other day, the head of the Ministry of Statistics, Mykhailo Fedorov, stated that Ukraine has overtaken the Russian Federation in terms of the number of kamikaze drones of the Shahed type and other long-range drones. And the production of such drones is limited only by budgetary funding.
Now Ukraine is trying to simplify the production of drones in the country and purchases from abroad. In this she is helped, in particular, by the members of the Coalition of Drones.
More than 20 countries have already joined the drone coalition.
