Ukraine to produce a million FPV drones next year – minister

Ukraine intensively used FPV drones – small drones originally for personal civilian use, but modified for the battlefield – since the first days of the Russian invasion in 2022 as a cheap but effective option for reconnaissance and attacks. Ukraine has been working to increase its domestic weapons production in order to secure stable deliveries, not rely exclusively on partners' aid, and give a boost to the economy. Kamyshin said that in December his country would produce more than 50,000 FPV drones.
