Details
Zelenskyy stated that the task of maximizing the production of interceptor drones to shoot down "Shaheds" must be implemented.
There is still a deficit in this regard, but we are working on it. The same applies to the task of Ukrainian ballistics. We have successfully used "Neptunes" – our cruise missiles – many times, and there will be a time when we can regularly use our own ballistic missiles. This is one of the key security tasks for the state and all enterprises and people responsible for Ukraine's missile program. Our own effective ballistics is one of the guarantees of security.
