President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky held a meeting with military and government officials to discuss drones. He announced this on Facebook.
"We held a nearly three-hour, highly specific meeting on drones with military and government officials," the President noted.
Participants of the meeting updated and detailed production plans for the current year for all types of drones: FPV, bombers, reconnaissance, as well as long-range drones for special tasks, emphasized Zelensky.
"We discussed how to ensure our defense industry's flexibility. Frontline needs are constantly changing, and our manufacturers must respond in a timely manner," the head of state emphasized.
As Zelensky informed, "important decisions were made regarding simplification of procurement procedures, import of components, increasing production of drone ammunition, and training of operators. A project to build a comprehensive electronic warfare system to protect our soldiers and equipment from Russian drones was also adopted."
According to the President, this system is already being tested on certain fronts.
"We intend to scale it up to the entire front," he added.
