Ukraine will produce thousands of long-range drones in 2024
Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine’s Minister of Digital Transformation, stated that Kyiv will produce thousands of long-range drones capable of attacking deep into Russian territory in 2024.
In an interview, he emphasized that the country currently has more than 10 drone manufacturing companies whose products can reach Moscow and St. Petersburg.
He told Reuters that the category of long-range kamikaze drones with ranges of 300, 500, 700, and 1,000 kilometers is under development. Two years ago, this category did not exist at all.
The 33-year-old Fedorov has been at the center of Ukraine’s efforts to develop private military startups for innovation and to create a drone industry, as the war enters its third year and Ukraine seeks new ways to counter Russian forces.
