The Ministry of Defense has launched licensed production of modern FPV drones at one of the state-owned enterprises.
The press service of the Ministry of Defense has reported this.
"Thanks to the integration of the state into production chains, we have gained a clear understanding of the cost of drone production and our competitive advantages in this market. This will allow us to improve the quality of finished products through sustainable competition," said First Deputy Minister of Defense, Lieutenant General Ivan Havryliuk.
It is noted that as part of a pilot project that started in December last year under the general coordination of the Main Directorate of Defense Innovations of the Ministry of Defense, the state received the opportunity to produce codified FPV drones.
In particular, as part of a tripartite agreement, a private developer provided a license permit for the production of UAVs at one of the state-owned enterprises under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defense.
In addition, the department's specialists have worked out a roadmap for organizing similar production together with other developers of unmanned aerial systems (UAS).
"We are ready to expand cooperation with private companies. We have a package of template documents and step-by-step instructions for launching similar UAS production lines at other state-owned enterprises," said Yurii Taraniuk, head of the Main Directorate of Defense Innovations.
Recall that at the end of 2024, the head of the Defense Intelligence, Lieutenant General Kyrylo Budanov, stated that the occupiers began to use FPV drones equipped with coils with fiber-optic cable. Such drones cannot be "jammed" by electronic warfare means.
