Weapons that are not present: the Armed Forces did not receive more than 1.7 million drones and HRs due to the lack of government orders - TSU

According to the technological forces of Ukraine, in 2024 private defense companies did not use about 63% of their production capacity. In 2024, private weapons producers in Ukraine did not produce more than 1. 7 million drones and electronic warfare (HRB) due to lack of government orders, despite their capacity. This was stated on February 6 by the Association of Ukraine's technological forces (TSU). It is reported that Ukrainian enterprises could produce 4.

7 thousand such equipment per day if state customers were uninterruptedly contract. The total cost of such equipment is estimated at almost $ 2 billion. The TSU also presented the counter "weapons that are not" - a tool that shows the unused potential of the Ukrainian private sector of the OPC. The volume of unloaded production capacity of companies in 2024 estimates at about 63%.

According to the meter, in 2024 Ukrainian companies could additionally make and put the Armed Forces: as explained by the executive director of TSU Kateryna Mikhalko, the meter indicator is calculated on the basis of data on production capacity of weapons, produced products under state contracts. For this purpose, the Association has collected data among manufacturers of 30 codified weapons required in the army. According to the TSU, in 2024 private manufacturers could produce more than 2.

7 million units of weapons, but the total production of public procurement and charitable funds was only 1 million. "The absence of uninterrupted, projected purchases by state customers prevented so many equipment to produce and put the armies," Kateryna Mikhalko said. The meter also shows how much foreign exchange receipts could receive if the manufacturers used to use the aforementioned resources to execute foreign contracts for government states.
