The Ukrainian Ministry of Defence announced plans to procure 4.5 million first-person view (FPV) drones in 2025, marking a significant increase from last year. With a budget allocation of over $2.6 billion, Ukraine aims to enhance its war effort against Russia, emphasizing the role of domestic manufacturers in this initiative. FPV drones have proven effective, costing under $1,000 each while destroying a large proportion of Russian tanks. Amidst escalating conflict, Ukraine’s defense strategy includes developing its own military capabilities to reduce reliance on foreign support.
Hlib Kanevsky stated that Ukraine has purchased more than 1.5 million drones in 2024, with 96 percent sourced from domestic producers, aiming for 4.5 million in 2025.
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defence announced plans to spend over $2.6 billion this year on FPV drones as part of their ongoing defense efforts against Russia.
Ukraine's imports of military equipment surged nearly 100 times since the full-scale invasion began in February 2022, making it the world's largest arms importer.
FPV drones, costing less than $1,000 each, have effectively destroyed two-thirds of Russian tanks, demonstrating their significant impact in the conflict.
