“We are expanding everything related to our drones. Next year, Ukraine will produce at least 30,000 long-range drones. I want to thank all our private and public companies. The task has been set to make at least 3,000 cruise missiles and drone missiles,” Zelenskyy said.
He emphasized that the search for solutions to shoot down the Russian “Shakhed” with the help of FPV drones is ongoing. Also, according to Zelenskyi, Ukraine has developed “long Neptunes”, whose name, he said, “testifies to their task”.
“We need to be ahead of Russia in technology. Now we are often looking for answers to their technological solutions. We need them to look for answers to our technological solutions. This is the main ideology of the item “Weapons” in the Resilience Plan. For this reason, the technology rate format is being implemented in Ukraine. In this format, we will collect the best specialists and useful technological ideas on a regular basis. The first meeting of the technology bid will take place at the beginning of December,” Zelenskyi said.
The President emphasized that the implementation of the relevant points of the “stability plan” will ensure real strategic deterrence of the Russian Federation: “Even without nuclear weapons, we can find conventional deterrence tools. Our weapon will always be the first guarantor. We are preparing a reliable financial base for this. We direct our investments to the production of weapons and attract partners.”
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, Ukraine has been trying to increase its own production of weapons, partly producing them together with partners.
According to President Volodymyr Zelenskyi, Ukraine already produces 155-caliber ammunition, long-range and maritime drones. Also, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal announced that Ukraine is embarking on “significant” volumes of production of artillery systems and armored vehicles.
