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.
