Development of Ukraine's defense industry
"Today, our own weapons cover three-quarters of our military's needs, and it is our own weapons that account for up to 95% of long-range strikes on the enemy. In the last year alone, we introduced more than 1,300 models of Ukrainian weapons into service. Every day, our manufacturers produce about 1,500 interceptor drones," he said at the opening on Monday of the updated exhibition of defense solutions marking the Day of Ukraine's Defense Industry Workers.
Sybiha stressed that these defense solutions work not only to protect Ukraine but have also proven effective in the Middle East.
He also said that relevant contracts between manufacturers would be signed after the exhibition is reviewed.
