Kyiv • UNN
The Ministry of Defense presented Ukraine's needs for the development of an unmanned coalition to the military attaches of partner countries and asked them to support the financing of Ukrainian drone production.
The Ministry of Defense has told international partners about Ukraine's needs for the development of the Drone Coalition and named its main goals. This was reported by the press service of the defense ministry, UNN reports.
Details
The Ministry of Defense presented the vision of the Drone Coalition and priority goals to military attaches from three dozen countries participating in the Contact Group on Defense of Ukraine (Ramstein form).
In particular, Ukraine needs support from partner countries within the Drone Coalition in three main areas:
- Supply of ready-made UAVs and component base
- Creating software solutions for the military in the shortest possible time
- Financing of Ukrainian drone production
We are looking for opportunities to attract $1.5 billion in UAV production in Ukraine. We urge our partners to invest in the most effective research and development of drones. After all, it is in Ukraine that the distance from the creation to the use of UAVs on the battlefield is the shortest in the world. These developments can guarantee the security of your countries and citizens for decades to come

She also announced the creation of a Soft Power space that will bring together global engineers to develop unmanned systems in Ukraine.
It is noted that the Ministry of Defense receives many requests from the military regarding the need for new technologies. Therefore, the goal of Soft Power is to help developers build innovative solutions not from scratch, but based on combat experience.
The Ukrainian military has unique experience in using drones in both offensive and defensive operations. Drones are used for reconnaissance, attacking equipment, logistics, command posts, and transmitting information - drones are on par with classic weapons. Investing in our developments, sharing innovative solutions and transferring drones is a direct contribution to our successful operations and protection of Ukraine and the civilized world
