President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced this to journalists during his visit to Denmark, as reported by UNN.
Details
Today we began our visit to Denmark with a very important meeting, with an important document signing between Ukraine and the USA. This will involve several companies. They focus only on various types of drones, but most importantly, this year there will be hundreds of thousands, and next year there will be an increase. We will see how it works
He emphasized that the main component is interceptor drones, which have already proven themselves in Ukraine.
We have already tested these drones from several companies. Now we have signed a very serious contract. We very much count on shooting down "Shaheds" in large quantities. I believe this is a good start to work in this direction. We also agreed with our colleagues that some of our productions will be able to access these relevant technologies. I think this can somewhat accelerate the possibility of production, increase production
