The goal of this coalition is to ensure the industrial production of FPV drones in order to create a technological advantage over the enemy in the long term. It is important not only to scale up production in the West but also to support Ukrainian companies capable of producing such equipment. Therefore, for the first time, we are engaging domestic manufacturers to participate in tenders
Addendum
The Ministry of Defense explained that series of tenders includes two lots: for the production of advanced FPV drones and interceptor drones.
The winning companies will receive orders for the production of drones for further testing and evaluation. In case of successful test results, a large-scale order of FPV drones from the winning companies is planned.
Recall
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Ukraine is capable of producing 1.5-2 million drones, but lacks funding. At the same time, he said that Ukraine has already contracted a million drones and has caught up with Russia in the production of kamikaze drones.
