At his summary press conference, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy promised that next year Ukraine would make a real breakthrough in drone production. Zelenskyy said that one million Ukrainian drones would be produced in 2024.
President of Ukraine promised a million Ukrainian drones in 2024
Next year, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be able to receive a million Ukraine-manufactured drones.
This was announced by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy at his summary press conference.
I am also positive about increasing the production of drones and special forces. There must be a management structure to control drones. Not a Soviet one, but a very simple one, so that it can be used quickly, the President explained.
Zelenskyy said that the production and supply of drones was a key issue at a recent meeting.
And I really don't like the fact that logistically we still have a bureaucratic Soviet process, when 26,000 drones were in a warehouse and did not get to the front. It was very loud in the Stavka, but such problems cannot exist. I'm just shocked that what we were producing could not fly, Zelenskyy said.
At the same time, he noted that Ukraine will overcome the logistics, and next year the military will be able to receive one million made-in-Ukraine drones.
We will overcome the logistics. Our soldiers will receive Ukrainian drones. As for production, we will produce one million drones next year, Zelenskyy said.
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 tests of tactical radio jammers for barrage munitions and UAVs developed by domestic enterprises.
