Ukraine plans to ramp up its drone production starting this fall.
The decision comes as Ukraine carries out more frequent drone attacks on Russian territory. In recent weeks there has been an increase in Ukrainian drone attacks, with multiple drones striking Russia at the same time, reaching as far as Pskov, a city 400 miles (600 km) west of Ukraine.
Kiev has used air and water drones for these attacks, targeting airfields and ships, as well as the bridge to Crimea.
"I think this autumn there will be a boom in the production of various Ukrainian drones: flying, hovering, crawling, etc., and this will continue to grow in volume," Oleksii Reznikov told the state-run Ukrinform news agency.
He said one reason for the increase in production was that the authorities had reduced various regulations and laws. "So we rewrote the regulations ... and simplified the processes. And I believe we also succeeded and gave us the opportunity for such an amplifier. Especially for drone manufacturers who started production from garages," he said.
While Ukraine relies heavily on modern Western weapons, the country has vowed not to use them on Russian territory. Instead, for attacks on Russian soil, Ukraine relies on domestically produced weapons, especially drones.
