Already in December we are producing more than 50,000 FPV drones. In addition to FPV drones, we are already capable of producing more than 10,000 medium-range attack drones (with a range of hundreds of km), and over 1,000 drones with a range of 1,000 km next year," Kamyshin wrote on his Telegram channel.

The minister said that all production capabilities are ready, and contracting for 2024 begins.

Earlier at a press conference, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Ukraine would produce 1 million drones next year.
