In recent weeks, Russia’s “shaheed” attacks on Ukraine have become more massive: on the night of July 21, 2025 alone, the enemy launched about 450 air targets. Against this background, German General Christian Freuding warned: “Russia intends to launch up to 2,000 drones into Ukraine simultaneously.” To overcome these challenges, interceptor drones are coming to the forefront — high-speed quadcopters with warheads capable of catching up with and blowing up enemy UAVs on approach.

Cities against drones: is the civil security system ready?
Over the past year, Russia has changed the tactics of using FPV drones. If earlier they were a weapon for the front — a means of destroying equipment and infantry in the «gray zone», today they have become an instrument of terror. Silent, cheap, almost invisible — FPV drones are increasingly striking civilian objects: hospitals, highways, water supply systems, schools. And increasingly — in cities that are dozens of kilometers from the front line.

Work on a special legal regime for Defence City arms manufacturers is in full swing. Tax cuts, a special register of manufacturers, decriminalization of breach of contract, special conditions for business relocation, and several other regulatory nuances have already been announced by parliamentarians, who have prepared as many as four bills for consideration.
dev.ua asked weapons manufacturers whether they are ready to join the new regime. We remind you that they want to ban residents of Diya.City from entering Defence City.

«Fight with robots, not with people» is one of the slogans of the Technological Forces of Ukraine, an association of Ukrainian gunsmiths that is approaching its second anniversary and has grown from its initial six members to several dozen members. The TSU mainly includes Ukrainian manufacturers of drones and electronic warfare systems, which are currently the main weapons of this war.
How close the association has come to this and its other slogans in reality, who can get into it and who is denied, how close Ukraine is to opening up arms exports and whether society will understand this, and whether Ukraine should fight for arms export markets with Russia, dev.ua spoke with the executive director of the TSU, Kateryna Mykhalko.
