France will launch drone production for the Armed Forces of Ukraine: where it will be launched.

French companies plan to produce drones in Ukraine

According to the French Minister of Defense Sebastien Lecornu, French companies intend to launch drone production directly in Ukraine. They call this new form of cooperation an 'absolutely win-win partnership' with Kyiv.

'I cannot name the company as it is their right, but the partnership is already in the implementation stage,' said Lecornu.

One of the French automotive companies, in partnership with a defense sector firm, plans to establish a drone manufacturing line in Ukraine. These drones will be used for Ukrainian military purposes and also for training the French army.

'We will not send French people to work in Ukraine. Ukrainians have a fantastic ability not only to create drones but also to develop new military strategies for their use,' emphasized Lecornu.

Ukraine is actively developing drone systems

According to the General Staff, by 2025 the number of drones in Ukraine will exceed 4.5 million. Currently, they account for over 70% of the enemy's destroyed equipment at the front, significantly enhancing the effectiveness of the Ukrainian army and reducing the threat from the enemy.
