The Ukrainian army is set to receive more than 30,000 Deep Strike combat drones next year, Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov announced on Thursday, APA reports citing Xinhua.
"These next-generation drones can operate autonomously over long distances and strike enemy targets with high precision," Umerov wrote on Facebook.
The delivery of the drones is a part of the "Resilience Plan" unveiled last month by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Umerov noted.
He added that a portion of these drones is funded by international partners that have invested in Ukraine's defense industry.
Earlier this year, Ukrainian officials outlined plans to produce in 2024 between 1 million and 2 million FPV drones, about 10,000 medium-range and more than 1,000 long-range combat drones.
