According to information published in The Wall Street Journal, Ukraine plans to significantly expand the production of long-range drones in 2024. According to the publication's source, by the middle of this year, the number of drones manufactured in Ukraine may reach about 500 per month.
This step demonstrates Ukraine's growing interest in developing its military-technical complex and expanding its capabilities to ensure the country's security. Unmanned aerial vehicles are becoming an increasingly important element of modern military operations, allowing them to conduct reconnaissance, provide fire support, and perform other tasks without risking the lives of servicemen.
WSJ notes that the production of its own drones allows Ukraine to circumvent restrictions on the use of Western weapons for attacks on Russian territory.
CNN, citing sources, reported that a number of Ukrainian attacks on Russian territory were carried out using drones using basic artificial intelligence.
