Ukrainian Drone Production Dominates, Outpacing Russia’s Desperate Measures
Ukraine’s domestic drone production surged in 2024, comprising 96.2% of all UAVs used by the Defence Forces. This significant increase, driven by Ministry of Defence orders, included a wide range of UAV types, from FPV drones to long-range strike drones. Over 1.5 million FPV drones alone were produced, showcasing a highly effective state-industry collaboration. This success underscores the growth of Ukraine’s defense industry and will continue to be prioritized in 2025.
