What to do with the lines of defense that Russia is building in the air? Fedorov says Ukraine is working on it
Kyiv • UNN
Mykhailo Fedorov said that Ukraine is developing a solution to Russia's new air defense lines that identify Ukrainian maritime drones. This creates new opportunities for defense technology startups.
The question now is what to do with the Russian defense lines that they are building in the air to identify Ukrainian naval drones. Therefore, Ukrainian entrepreneurs, together with special services and the military, are working on how to deal with this challenge.
This was stated by Deputy Prime Minister for Innovation, Development of Education, Science and Technology - Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov during a speech at Defense Tech Valley, UNN correspondent reports.
You all know the example of the Black Sea fleet. Naval drones changed the situation, but now the Russians have learned how to counteract the kamikaze boats. And another question has arisen: what to do with their lines of defense that they build in the air? With helicopters, reconnaissance drones, to identify the impact of our naval drones? And we will 100% see the answer to this question soon, because Ukrainian entrepreneurs, together with our special services and the military, are working on how to deal with this challenge
He noted that this creates an immediately unrealistic field for startups.
“From special stabilizers for air defense equipment to boats to many other projects. That is, a new challenge forces us to look for solutions, and after that, a large number of startups and projects appear, or some projects change their socialization, expand their product line in order to generate this solution,” Fedorov said.
