Ukraine ramps up drone production in fight against Russia
Ukraine is increasing its production of drones in a bid to counter the Russian invasion, President Volodymyr Zelensky, according to DPA, quoted by Agerpres.
"Drones are the eyes and protection of the front line," Zelensky said in a video address. "They are a guarantee that people will not have to pay with their lives when drones can be used."
Zelensky also highlighted the importance of drone deliveries from international partners.
"In every combat brigade, the fighters first ask about drones," he said.
The use of drones has been a key part of Ukraine's defence strategy since the start of the war. Drones have been used to carry out attacks on Russian forces and gather intelligence.
In early August, Ukrainian drones struck the Russian military ship Olenegorski Gorniak in the Black Sea, causing significant damage, dpa reported.
