Співзасновник і голова ГО «Аеророзвідка» Ярослав Гончар зазначив, що зараз український ринок дронів для армії представлений приблизно 140 різними моделями вітчизняного виробництва.
Co-founder and head of the Aerorozvidka NGO, Yaroslav Honchar, noted that currently the Ukrainian market of drones for the army is represented by approximately 140 different models of domestic production.
«If we talk about production, then an ecosystem is being formed. The state is investing in the market, in the Ukrainian Startup Fund, in the Brave1 program, there is strong support for ideas and inventors. Not only drone manufacturers are appearing, but also manufacturers of components. If a manufacturer of propellers, motors, etc. has appeared, then this is already the maturity of the market», — he noted on Ukrainian Radio.
At the same time, as for ammunition production, according to Honchar, the problem lies with the chemical industry.
«Ammunition manufacturers have appeared… But there is a dependence of this production on the chemical industry. We do not produce explosives in sufficient quantities in the country. Therefore, the military is often forced to use explosives from other ammunition. But this continues, unfortunately, not without incidents», — the head of the Aerorozvidka NGO explained the realities.
As dev.ua reported the day before, President Zelenskyy signed an extension of tax and customs benefits for next year, in particular, for drones and components.
In turn, over the past year, the production of drones by Ukrainian TAF Drones has increased from 6,000 to 40,000, said its founder Oleksandr Yakovenko.
