Domestic production of drones: the Ministry of Defense said that financial resources have been increased and conditions have been simplified

Next year, funding for UAV production is expected to increase. This factor and the recent simplification of the procedure for importing raw materials for the manufacture of drones should strengthen Ukraine's drone manufacturing capabilities. This was stated by Deputy Defense Minister of Ukraine Yuriy Dzhyhyr during a telethon, UNN reports .

This year, the Ministry of Digital Transformation spent more than 40 billion hryvnias on drones. Next year, this amount will be much higher. It is worth noting that the Cabinet of Ministers has recently simplified the procedure for importing raw materials for drone production, so we have quite optimistic expectations about the growth of local producers' capacity to manufacture drones next year. Accordingly, we have two parameters that will improve next year: increased financial resources and simplified conditions for drone production. We hope that these two factors will significantly enhance our drone capabilities 

To recap

Ukrainian drone Backfire has passed the Defense Ministry's commission, so these Russian electronic warfare resistant drones may soon be in service with the Armed Forces.
