The country increases its drone production after millions of pounds are raised through donations.
Ukraine says it is rapidly increasing its production of drones as demand grows on the front line.The expansion is being funded by a successful fundraising campaign called the Army of Drones.As well as buying and building drones for the war, the money is being spent on training new pilots for the front line.
"Drones are our eyes, we can see the occupier very well from the top so we can adjust artillery and find and neutralise the enemy," he says. Slava says the ban has made it harder to get hold of the drones but Ukraine has still been able to import thousands. Last month, 10 RQ-35 Heidrun reconnaissance drones reportedly costing $16,000 each were purchased and sent to the front line by the Army of Drones campaign.BakhmutIn March, Ukraine's Ministry for Digital Transformation announced what it called "an important step for the development of the Ukrainian UAV market", relaxing and simplifying the procedure for importing components for drones into Ukraine.
"Drones today are a fundamental technology in terms of the significance," said Minister for Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov when announcing the changes.
