Kamyshin: Ukraine produced 50,000 FPV drones in December

In December, the Ukrainian defense industry produced about 50,000 FPV drones and plans to produce thousands of medium- and long-range unmanned combat aerial vehicles.

Oleksandr Kamyshin, Minister for Strategic Industries of Ukraine, reported this.

“Yesterday, at the final press conference, the President promised that Ukraine would produce one million drones next year. And this only covers FPV drones. In December, we will produce over 50 thousand FPV drones,” Kamyshin shared.

This is their solution to the artillery shell shortage. For targeting vehicles it is better than artillery as it has better range and accuracy, to say nothing of cost effectiveness. For troop concentrations it is as good, especially at night.

I'm certainly not saying artillery is outdated, just that FPV drones are forcing a rethink. The production of 50k drones in one month or less tells us all we need to know.
