The Cobra drone, which was developed by a team of developers from Kryvyi Rih, is now being mass-produced.
What is known about the manufacture of the Cobra drone
The Cobra reportedly costs about $2,000, which is cheaper than foreign or Ukrainian counterparts. To reduce production costs, the developers decided to use metal instead of composite materials.
This drone has a flight range of 300 km and a payload of 15 kg.
The main idea of the project is to reduce the number of people risking their lives. That is, to replace them with robots and drones, according to the Army of Drones.
Production of drones in Ukraine
Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion, Ukraine has been gradually increasing its arms production.
Ukrainian specialists have started mass production of analogues of Iranian Shahed kamikaze drones.
In early December, the Ministry of Defence completed testing of tactical radio jammers for barrage munitions and UAVs developed by domestic enterprises.
On 19 December, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy promised at his final press conference that Ukraine would make a real breakthrough in drone production next year. Zelenskyy said that one million Ukrainian drones would be produced in 2024.
In addition, Minister of Strategic Industries Oleksandr Kamyshyn said that next year Ukraine will produce one million FPV drones, more than 10,000 medium-range strike drones and more than 1,000 drones with a range of up to 1,000 km.
