The Defense Ministry reports.

Among the codified and approved weapons and military equipment, the largest number of vehicles, unmanned aerial systems, ammunition, electronic warfare systems, communications, engineering equipment, and ground robotic platforms are in use.

"In 2024, domestic weapons manufacturers not only increased the production of a wide range of weapons and military equipment, but also created many new models. We are talking about the production of high-tech weapons, the role of which is significantly increasing on the battlefield," said First Deputy Defense Minister Ivan Havryliuk.

According to him, Ukraine is currently working on a number of important projects that will increase the army's firepower.

The Ministry also noted that of the more than 600 domestic models of weapons and military equipment approved for use this year, almost half were approved during the third quarter.

"In order to increase the capabilities of the Defense Forces in the sky and on the ground, to significantly expand the range of production of effective warfare tools, it is important for us to increase military-technical cooperation with partners. The more we attract financial and technological investments, the less chances the Kremlin will have to implement its aggressive plans," Havryliuk emphasized.

  • Defense Minister Rustem Umerov said that next year Ukraine plans to increase funding for the production of drones, long-range weapons, and ballistic missiles.
