“Ukraine has become the world’s top producer of FPV drones, manufacturing more than 2.2 million units and rapidly expanding its defense industrial base to meet the demands of modern warfare,” leading defense officials said during the Ukrainian Weapons 2024 forum in Kyiv.

“We’ve already begun working with $35 billion in investments and contracts.”

“We’ve ramped up manufacturing of missiles, electronic warfare systems (EW and REW), and ground robotic platforms.”

More than 50% of the materials used in these systems are now sourced locally.
