“We are launching a completely new partnership, within which the Grand French automobile company will join efforts with the French defense small or medium -sized enterprise to create production lines in Ukraine for the production of drones,” said the head of the country’s defense department.
He did not specify the type of drones, but noted that they would be assigned to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Lecorny also noted that these drones will also be available to his country’s armed forces so that they “have constant tactical and operational training that corresponds to the realities of” war in Ukraine.
According to him, Ukraine will provide feedback on the use of these drones in combat.
“There is no need to ask French citizens to work on a production line in Ukraine,” Lecortny emphasized.
He added that Ukrainians are “the best of us in the development of drones and, most importantly, in the formation of the doctrine of their use.”
It should be noted that on June 5, the Defense Ministers of Ukraine and France discussed the possibilities of joint production of weapons for the needs of Ukrainian defense forces during a meeting in Brussels.
And at the 28th meeting in the Ramstein format, which took place in the NATO headquarters, Ukraine and the state partners agreed to create a mechanism of defense production.
