During a meeting with Ukrainian drone manufacturers, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer reviewed the actual results of their work: bomber drones and reconnaissance UAVs.
The leaders were shown examples of domestically produced drones used by Ukrainian defenders in their fight against Russian aggression. Notably, bomber drones capable of carrying and dropping up to 40 kilograms of ammunition over a range of more than 15 kilometers. These drones are highly effective in destroying enemy targets, particularly logistics on the front lines and in nearby rear areas, especially at night.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Keir Starmer were also briefed on an FPV drone carrier – a joint Ukrainian-British development, as well as Ukrainian reconnaissance UAVs equipped with communication modules manufactured in the UK.
Representatives from the manufacturing companies provided detailed information on the drones' specifications, their applications, and shared relevant examples of their use.
“We are very glad that we can rely on the United Kingdom. I am also very grateful to our guys for their productive cooperation with British partners. I believe this year we will achieve significant and very important results,” the President noted.
According to him, Ukraine plans to continue increasing drone production and aims to reach record-breaking figures.
Keir Starmer emphasized that the UK will support Ukraine in creating tools that enhance its ability to resist Russian aggression and save the lives of Ukrainian men and women. He highlighted the critical importance of technological cooperation in today’s world.
