This is dangerous: the Ukrainian military told where they get explosives for their drones
According to him, although Ukraine's reserves of different types of explosive drones are the most important part of its UAV strategy, explosives are not enough. That is why some drone operators were engaged in the collection of ammunition of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which did not break to extract the explosives. "This task is in danger, but we need communication systems for these drones and we need explosives. We need a lot of them," Mazsevich emphasized.
His words were confirmed by Sergey Varakin, the commander of the drone unit of the 58th Brigade of Ukraine, who called it "quite a long-standing problem. " "We have not enough explosives for a long time. This is a big deficit, and we need a lot. We need it in large volumes," he said. A week earlier, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Rustam Umerov said that our country could produce several million drones a year, and assured that we would not allow the Russian Federation to bypass us.
He added that Kiev has developed a "very detailed and large" plan, which will set out how drones, radio electronic wrestles and land work will be produced over the next three years. However, funding remains the main problem on the implementation of these plans. "Ukraine is able to produce many things, and we are more creative than Russians. We need the opportunity to create a place for this production and, of course, funding," Varakin said.
Vadim Mazevich added that money will be able to develop different conceptual directions, not just production directions. In August 2024, Ukraine for the first time announced a tender for the purchase of FPV-goals of domestic production through the ProZorro electronic platform to allow the state to buy UAVs at the most favorable price, and developers-to increase their income and increase production.
