The Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine is actively working on expanding the line of its own unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This was announced on May 22 by the head of the GUR Kyrylo Budanov in iinterview published by NV.
One of the priority areas is the creation of drones capable of shooting down aerial targets. GUR specialists are already working on the integration of anti-aircraft defense (APD) equipment on unmanned platforms, which will allow them to effectively detect, track and destroy enemy targets in the air.
“This is not an easy task, but it is realeh,” Budanov emphasized.
Former Minister of Defense of Ukraine Andriy Zahorodniuk also noted the significant progress of Ukrainian developers in the field of unmanned technologies. He emphasized that Ukraine has become a world leader in the development and use of maritime drones, which were only conceptual models a few years ago.
Zagorodnyuk expressed confidence that after the war, Ukraine will become one of the main exporters of naval drones, which confirms the high level of domestic engineers and the potential of the Ukrainian defense-industrial complex.
