Details: “We took quite substantial steps in 2024 to strengthen our domestic arms production. The president set a goal of 1 million drones [to be produced]. We understand that business and the market in Ukraine are ready to produce over a million UAVs. We will certainly acquire everything that our business can produce in order to supply it to our Defence Forces,” Shmyhal noted.
