Ukraine will involve private companies in the production of explosives and ammunition, providing them with financial support in the form of grants. This was stated by Viceremier-Minister for Innovation, Development of Education, Science and Technology Mikhail Fedorov, Public reports.
Fedorov noted that preparatory work was carried out in order to implement this initiative, including eliminating bureaucratic barriers to manufacturers.
“First, we opened the market, allowed to produce gunpowder for the private sector and ammunition. Secondly, they allowed to import various components for production. And the next step is financial support. Grant is the best approach, and we will launch it very quickly, ”the minister said during Defense Tech Innovation Forum.
Fedorov noted that the state has created a program that opens the opportunity for private companies to produce gunpowder, to join this process. He stressed that one of the priority tasks is the safe placement of such enterprises, including their location at a safe distance from the settlements.
“Requirements for obtaining a license, by default to create safe conditions for production. It should be as far away from living people as possible, certain conditions for safety. These conditions will be created, ”Fedorov said.
When asked by a journalist where Ukrainian manufacturers can find raw materials, given the global shortage of materials for explosive production, Fedorov replied that entrepreneurs have different production technologies. According to him, they are well aware of where to get the necessary components and what additional links should be included in the production chain.
“Therefore, look, there is no problem that Ukrainian entrepreneurs cannot solve. In addition, domestic companies are working on innovative types of explosives, ”the minister said.
Earlier, the Director of the Defense Procurement Department Gleb Kanevsky reported that the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine plans to refer more than UAH 44 billion for the purchase of FPV-punks in 2025, in particular, on the fiber.
The Ministry of Defense has launched the licensed production of modern FPV-oules on the basis of one of the state-owned enterprises. As part of the pilot project, which started last December under the general coordination of the Main Department of Defense Innovation, the state was given the opportunity to produce codified FPV-drones.
Thus, as part of the Tripartite Agreement, the private developer granted a licensing permission to produce UAVs on the basis of one of the state -owned enterprises belonging to the sphere of management of the Ministry of Defense.
