Missile production in Ukraine
In August 2024, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine had used a new drone missile, Palianytsia, a weapon of its production, for the first time.
At the end of October, the head of the permanent Ukrainian delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, Yehor Chernev, said that some Ukrainian missiles had already been tested. At the same time, he noted that there were some difficulties with the components needed for their production.
Earlier, Oleksii Petrov, director of the state enterprise Spetstechnoexport, said that Ukraine would have its cruise and ballistic missiles by 2025.
