Zelensky unveils photos of domestically produced Ukrainian weapons, including shells and drones

According to President Zelensky, continuously increasing this potential each year is an evident strategic goal for Ukraine.

"I thank everyone who makes our army technological: all Ukrainian manufacturers, our entire state sector, all partners who invest in defense production in Ukraine," Zelensky added.

For reference:
It should be noted that the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine launched licensed production of FPV drones based on one of the state-owned enterprises.

Also, the Ukrainian defense industry produced over 30,000 bomber drones last year, which the defense forces actively use to perform strike missions.

During a press conference on December 19, 2023, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said that one million drones would be produced in Ukraine next year.

By 2024, over 1 million FPV drones will be joined by at least 10,000 medium-range attack drones and over 1,000 drones that can cover distances of 1,000 km in production.

The drone industry in Ukraine is proliferating, with over 100 companies currently producing drones in the country.

Earlier, the head of Ukraine's Security Service announced that a unique marine surface drone, "Sea Baby," was produced in Ukraine. The drones are produced in Ukraine, but the factories are underground.

In addition, according to the Minister of Strategic Industries, Oleksandr Kamyshin, Ukraine has established serial production of the domestic analog of Shahed UAVs. Dozens of such drones can be produced in a month.

Moreover, engineers from Kryvyi Rih have begun mass-producing domestic strike UAVs – the Cobra aircraft, with a flight range of up to 300 km.

It is worth adding that the construction of the Bayraktar drone production plant continues in Ukraine. It is planned to produce more than 100 units of drones every year.

Ukrainian drone manufacturers are already capable of producing up to 150,000 units of products every month, and by the end of 2024, they plan to produce a total of 2 million drones.

Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, Ukraine has significantly increased the production of drones and aviation complexes. We are not only talking about copters and strike drones but also about naval drones. As Volodymyr Zelensky reported, Ukraine can produce a total of 4 million drones each year. To date, more than 1.5 million UAVs have been contracted.
