Here's What We Know

Deputy Minister for Strategic Industries Hanna Hvozdyar told Forbes that Ukraine's production capacity will reach 2 million different drones a year, and not just FPVs.

According to her, new types of FPV drones are currently being developed, such as a "wing" or light reconnaissance drones that could replace Chinese Mavic quadcopters.

Flashback

The Ukrainian Armed Forces are actively using small and relatively cheap FPV drones, and have recently begun to equip them with night vision. Such UAVs can also carry a warhead weighing up to 4 kilograms over a distance of 40-50 kilometres. And to operate at maximum distances, repeater drones are used.
