Next year, more than 30,000 strike drones will be delivered to Ukrainian military forces. Some of them will be funded by international partners, according to a statement from Ukraine's Defense Minister Rustem Umerov.

"Ukraine is transforming the rules of the battlefield through innovative technologies!" emphasized the Minister of Defense.

According to Umerov, as part of the Resilience Plan of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, over 30,000 DeepStrike strike drones will be delivered to Ukrainian defenders by 2025.

"Our international partners, who invested in Ukraine's defense industry, have funded a portion of these UAVs," he explained.

The Minister noted that these next-generation drones are capable of operating autonomously over long distances and striking enemy targets with high precision.

Weapon production in Ukraine

In recent years, weapon production in Ukraine has significantly increased, becoming a vital part of supporting the armed forces during the war with Russia.

The Ukrainian defense industry is actively collaborating with international partners, receiving funding to develop production and supply equipment, including drones.

These steps help provide Ukrainian defenders with modern combat tools, while also supporting economic stability amid the challenging conditions of the war.

Yesterday, RBC-Ukraine also reported that Ukraine has increased the serial production of missiles for the Neptune complex, and the drone missile Palianytsia has entered serial production.
