In 2025, the supply level of unmanned systems to the Ukrainian Defense Forces, primarily FPV drones, increased to about 200,000 per month.

First Deputy Minister of Defense Ivan Havryliuk said this.

“If we take unmanned systems, especially FPV drones, which are used to defeat the enemy. We started the first quarter of 2024 with 20 thousand per month. Today, this figure is about 200 thousand per month and is on the rise,” he shared.

However, he emphasized that this regards not only FPV drones but the entire range of drones, including systems received as part of international assistance.

The Deputy Minister emphasized efforts to introduce ground robotic systems. They are used for logistical tasks, mining and demining, and evacuating the wounded.

When performing such tasks, the military is forced to move to open areas where they are in the greatest danger. Therefore, it is planned to transfer these functions to ground robotic systems as soon as possible.

At the end of October 2024, the Ministry of Defense reported that in 10 months, the agency, together with the Ministry of Digital Transformation, had contracted 1.6 million UAVs of various types for a total of over UAH 114 billion. These include long-range, FPV kamikaze, reconnaissance, and wing drones, as well as attack copters and aircraft. Out of this amount, suppliers have already completed orders for 1.28 million unmanned aerial vehicles worth over UAH 81 billion. At the same time, another 366,940 units of drones were scheduled to be delivered by the end of the year.

By 2025, the Ministry of Defense had already contracted 155,205 units of unmanned aerial vehicles worth UAH 32.33 billion.

At the end of December 2024, Rustem Umierov, Minister of Defense of Ukraine, reported that in 2024, Ukrainian enterprises produced 96.2% of all UAVs for the Ukrainian Defense Forces. In particular, more than 1.5 million FPV drones were manufactured.

In January 2025, Herman Smetanin, Minister of Strategic Industries, announced that the Ukrainian defense industry had delivered more than 30,000 bomber drones to the Defense Forces in 2024.

In October 2024, President Volodymyr Zelensky stated at the opening of the Second International Defense Industries Forum that Ukraine is already capable of producing a total of 4 million drones annually.

In November 2024, the President announced that in 2025, Ukraine plans to produce at least 30,000 long-range drones.
