Drones in Russia-Ukraine war

In July 2024, Ukraine launched production of almost a hundred more attack drones than Russia.

At the same time, the Defense Procurement Agency signed an agreement with a Ukrainian manufacturer for the supply of ground-based kamikaze drones. The deal is worth UAH 3 billion. Ukraine can produce over 3 million drones of various types in a year.

Over the past day, the Ukrainian Armed Forces shot down a total of 37 Russian drones.
