Ukraine has experienced a tremendous increase in the production of suicide and combat drones, becoming one of the global leaders in this field due to the urgent needs of the war.

Ukraine's goal for 2025 is to produce 4.5 million military drones, a significant increase compared to 2024, when about 2.2 million units were produced. The parameters are clear. The drones must have a range to strike enemies at a distance of 40 km+, be inexpensive, and be mass-produced.

The cyberwarfare situation is always changing. Any type of signal that works now will most likely not work in the next 2-3 months. We are constantly improving the systems. We change frequencies, protocols and modes of operation. All this is done in cooperation with the military. We immediately pass on the things that work to the military.

Russia aims to produce 300–350 drones per day, making it necessary for Ukraine to increase its production capacity to maintain the balance on the battlefield. Combat and suicide drones have become key weapons in warfare, replacing artillery in many cases and offering a cheaper and more flexible solution for precision strikes. About 96% of the drones used by the Ukrainian military in 2024 were domestically produced, reducing dependence on foreign suppliers and strengthening the domestic defense industry. (A2 Televizion)
