Zelenskyy confirms contracts for producing over 1,000,000 drones in 2024
On 6 August, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the additional funding for the homegrown missile program, and that contracts have already been signed with domestic manufacturers to produce over one million drones this year, amid the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war.
In late 2023, Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine planned to produce 1,000,000 drones in 2024, referring specifically to first-person-view (FPV) drones, widely used on the war zone. In the first two months of the year, Ukraine reportedly manufactured 200,000 FPVs. In July, the Strategi Industries Ministry said Ukraine had the capacity to produce up to 3,000,000 drones a year.
In his August 6 evening video address to the nation, Zelenskyy said he presided over a meeting of the Headquarters of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, convening Ukraine’s top military officials and strategic industry leaders.
The President confirmed that contracts for producing over one million drones have been signed with domestic manufacturers, indicating plans for further expansion within the year. This initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance Ukraine’s aerial capabilities and strategic impact on the ongoing war.
“[O]ur Government officials from the Ministry of Strategic Industries and the Ministry of Finance also presented reports on drone production and financing. We have already contracted one million drones for this year, and more will follow in total within the year,” Zelenskyy said.
Additionally, Zelenskyy announced that the HQ approved increased funding for Ukraine’s missile program.
Ukraine produces the Neptune anti-ship missiles in limited numbers, which are currently being adapted for ground strikes. It was also known that Ukraine has been developing the Hrim-2 ballistic missile with the range up to 500 km, yet the project has never reached the testing stage and its current status is unknown. Additionally, the Coral domestic anti-air missiles have been in development.

1500 more and they've got Moscow! If they want it, that is. Can't imagine why.
It's taken Russia a year and 100,000 lives to take 7km of Donetsk. 15km in a day is a blitz.
Union rules. The Russkies get vodka for lunch and they're pretty much useless after that.
LMFAO
Putin: "We're going to attack you for no reason and you'll like it!"
Also Putin: "How DARE you attack us unprovoked!"
Fuckin dipshit, just like those who support him.
Cry harder, you can't change the world nor everyone opinion..
Putin may be a monster, but he has more ball than the 2 feckless leaders Canada and the USA currently has.
Which Putin? The germaphobe in the bunker or the one that that goes in public to repeat what he's told through an ear piece from the one in the bunker?
Their culture? In the past 300 years Russia has only had 3 Russian leaders. Yeltsin, Medvedev and Putin.
