Today, February 17, the work of the Drone Coalition, which will work within the framework of the Contact Group on Defense of Ukraine, officially started.

This is reported by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

It is noted that the Minister of Defense Rustem Umierov signed the relevant letter.

In particular, co-leaders of the initiative were Latvia and Great Britain. Also, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Lithuania, Estonia and the Netherlands have already joined the Coalition.

«This is a milestone on the way to achieving technological superiority over our enemy. Serial production and deliveries of UAVs significantly expand the capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine,» said Rustem Umierov.

As a reminder, 67 samples of Ukrainian drones that have passed admission procedures can be contracted in Ukraine. In 2022, there were only 7 of them. 200 companies related to the production of drones are registered in the country. We are talking about the ability of companies to produce drones as needed. The actual production of drones has increased «tenfold» since 2022.
