Regarding interceptor drones. The "Bars" have shown positive results: they have the highest percentage. The others are also catching up. These are long-range drones that are almost missiles. And now they are showing around a 30% shoot-down rate. But everything is increasing. We are grateful to Germany. We will receive 2,000 "Bars" that we are producing together
Volodymyr Zelenskyy also spoke separately about the "Turrets" program.
The "Turrets" program. We have only just begun developing it properly. There will be dozens of these turrets at various facilities. We will protect them as best we can. There is also a program for small missiles. There are several types. In the second half of this month, we expect to see results. If there are results, we will immediately be able to move to producing a normal quantity of the relevant product
