Kostenko reported on the possibilities of mass production of UAVs in Ukraine.


The Secretary of the Parliamentary Committee on National Security, Defense, and Intelligence, Roman Kostenko, stated that Ukraine could produce up to 10 million unmanned aerial vehicles per year if it receives the appropriate directive from the state leadership. He expressed confidence that Ukrainian manufacturers would be able to respond quickly and, if necessary, produce even more UAVs.
Roman Kostenko, who is the Secretary of the Parliamentary Committee on National Security, Defense, and Intelligence, stated that if the Ukrainian state issues the appropriate directive, Ukraine will be able to produce up to 10 million unmanned aerial vehicles per year. He expressed certainty that Ukrainian manufacturers would be able to respond quickly and release even more drones as needed.
Kostenko noted that many drones produced in Ukraine contain components from abroad, including from China. However, there are also several companies that produce drones made entirely from Ukrainian materials. Nonetheless, there is a risk of using foreign components, such as magnets and other parts that come from China.
Kostenko emphasized the need for further development of Ukraine's defense-industrial complex to be able to produce unmanned aerial vehicles independently.
It is worth noting that Ukraine has successfully tested a German combat drone equipped with artificial intelligence.
