Ukrainian drone production volumes have increased significantly - military expert Zgurets

He said this on the Espreso TV channel.

"In Dzhankoi, where the Russian military airfield is located, the 239th regiment of the army aviation is stationed, and there are helicopters of various types. This airfield was struck at night. There were bright, beautiful explosions, indicating that a warehouse with ammunition or fuel reserves was hit. This good news once again speaks to the effectiveness of Ukrainian means of attack, I think they were drones, yielding results," emphasized Zgurets.

According to a military expert, the use of Ukrainian drones is becoming more consistent and effective in terms of thematic deployment.

"Yesterday I had a meeting with several of our directors who produce various types of combat drones. They mentioned that production volumes have significantly increased. Financial capabilities, with 25% remaining within the enterprises, allow them to develop. Currently, they are booked for a year in advance. For instance, one of the enterprises produces drones that can fly up to 800 km. So, progress in this field is indeed evident," noted Zgurets.
