No need to be afraid of Russia with its resources: Ukraine creates an army of 20,000 drones
You just don't know what a giant jump in the last six months we made in the production of drones !!! Already in Ukraine there are about 20,000 drones (maybe more), mainly FPV. And this figure demonstrates that this is not some space and in fact we can much more! The only point that the industry itself develops more slowly than requires the needs of war. And slower than that the enemy does.
Due to the fact that the same decisions are made more slowly and we do not have any system of industry development. Because, if we are relatively speaking, we began to develop it at least six months earlier and the government approached the issue of development more systemally, then the counter -offensive would now have a completely different result . . . Why do I think so? Let's tell a short story.
Previously, the industry itself developed quite chaotic, because it was driving volunteers, each of whom tried to meet certain needs of the military. And the drones were only part of the needs. A year later the state woke up. And it should be said that in 2015, and then last fall, regulatory acts were adopted, which simplified the purchase of drones. However, manufacturers did not know about them))).
And the case began to move when already in 2023 the Ministorfra took the situation in their own hands and began to drive the manufacturers to help go through all the procedures)). Few people say about it now, but in this regard they are well. The main failure of the state was that the state did not create tools for training and transfer of experience between producers. Although this miscalculation was again rescued by volunteers.
Then the next stage began in the summer of 2023, when a consensus was formed in society about the need for drone production. Public resonance forced the government to increase spending, local authorities have finally started buying drones, volunteers began to buy more drones than before. And these factors have become another growth driver of the industry. And personally, I believe that the example of drone production, even our weak state can show the result.
Believe me, in peacetime, such a result of the industry would be a very cool achievement. Another thing is that much of public funds are now spent very inefficiently. I do not mean that they are stealing because it is now a very sensitive topic and are afraid there. I only mean that the state could spend money more efficiently through structuring and optimizing the industry. However, this work is not done, because no one has ever done this . . .
