He also stresses that by the end of this year, at least 10 joint ventures for the production of drones will be established in Europe.
"That's our Ukrainian approach to saying thanks to Europe and to Germany for standing with us. We are ready to help Europe make strong again," he adds.
Joint production of Ukrainian weapons
Earlier, the President of Ukraine announced that Ukraine was starting to export drones to Europe. According to him, several representative offices will be opened, and the security of the European Union will depend on Ukrainian drones and technologies.
Europe is ready to buy Ukrainian drones and technology, and Ukraine is ready to buy European ones. For example, Germany will begin manufacturing drones that have already been tested on the front lines, namely TYTAN Interceptor drones.
In addition, the French company Renault, in collaboration with the defense company Turgis Gaillard, will produce long-range drones for Ukraine. In general, France and Ukraine have been working for a long time to launch the production of drones for the Ukrainian army.
Also, a Czech company, in cooperation with volunteers, has been supplying Ukraine with FPV drones on fiber optics for some time, which are manufactured using technologies from intercepted Russian Prince Vandal drones.
