On behalf of the entire Ukrainian defense industry, Kamyshyn called on NATO to purchase this one million UAVs from Ukrainian manufacturers.
"We have the capabilities, we have the technology, we have the engineers. We can make both cheap FPV drones and things that fly over 1,000 kilometers, as well as land and sea drones. Combat and evacuation, reconnaissance and strike drones. The effectiveness of our drones has been proven at the front, and their cost is as competitive as possible. Ordering a million drones in Ukraine is the best way to make more Russians good," Kamyshin said.
