According to Valery Yakovenko, the Ukrainian army now needs more drones than all over the world. Therefore, they must be produced independently.
As of now, Ukraine has seven times as many drones as Russia. This statement was made by DroneUA co-founder Valery Yakovenko on the Radio Liberty broadcast.
How many drones does Ukraine produce, and why is it not enough?
“The lack of production of Ukrainian unmanned technologies is not because we produce less drones than invaders. This is not true, because we produce much more of them. But there are not enough of them,” said Yakovenko.
According to the co-founder of DroneUA, the Ukrainian Armed Forces has a critical need for drone operators.
“The number of operators we have to teach is in the hundreds and thousands of people. And for that we need millions of drones, because this is a different material. But there are not that many drones in the world,” said Yakovenko.

At the same time, there is another point of view on the problem of the production of drones in Ukraine. As a matter of fact, the head of the Air Intelligence Support Center, Maria Berlinskaya, said in an interview with Ukrayinska Pravda that our country is five times behind Russia in the production of unmanned aerial vehicles.
Like Yakovenko, he first said that at the beginning of the war, the Ukrainian Armed Forces had an undeniable superiority over the enemy in drones. But then Russia focused on the production of UAVs, invested money there and managed to get ahead.
“If Ukraine now produces 10,000 FPV aircraft per month, Russia produces 45-50,000,” Berlinskaya said.
In his opinion, the country that wins the “drone race” will win the war because drones help save the military’s life and conserve human resources.

We also reported that on July 18, volunteers delivered four unmanned Shark systems to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The drone camera detects targets moving at 100 kilometers per hour.
