President Volodymyr Zelensky has ordered the production of at least 30,000 long-range drones. Ukrainian enterprises also plan to produce about 3,000 cruise missiles and drone missiles, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said .
He recalled that this year Ukraine has a record budget to provide for the army and strengthen the defense industry - UAH 2 trillion 230 billion.
Spending on armaments and military equipment will amount to at least UAH 739 billion. The plans of domestic defense industry enterprises include increasing existing production capacities to $30 billion.
As part of the "Weapons of Victory" project, the authorities will launch long-term contracts with manufacturers for 3-5 years.
"We will pay special attention to the long-range component and the missile program. The task from the President of Ukraine is to produce at least 30,000 long-range drones. Ukrainian enterprises also plan to produce about 3,000 cruise missiles and drone missiles," Shmyhal said.
In addition, Ukraine plans to develop the "Danish model", according to which partners purchase weapons from the Ukrainian defense-industrial complex for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The government expects to attract more than $1 billion by 2025.
Recall that in August, the Ukrainian military first struck the Russian army with a new weapon — the "Palyanytsia" drone missile. In December, Volodymyr Zelenskyy handed over the first batch of the latest "Hell" drone missiles to the Defense Forces of Ukraine.
