Ukrainian Armed Forces received seven samples of Ukrainian-made UAVs in past month - Reznikov

Ukraine’s Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov said this in a Facebook post, Ukrinform reports.

"Earlier, the army accepted one or two samples of UAVs per year for operation. For comparison: in the last 30 days, seven samples of Ukrainian-made UAVs were admitted to operation in the Ukrainian Armed Forces," he said.

According to him, to simplify interaction with manufacturers, a website has been created where every developer who has a ready-made product can submit an application to Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense for admission to the operation of their product. Official admission to operation means that the Ministry of Defense can purchase products, and the Ukrainian Armed Forces can use them. Earlier, this procedure took one-and-a-half or two years, the minister said.

"Currently, 19 more applications are being considered for the admission of Ukrainian-made UAVs to operation. We plan to make a decision on them by the end of the year," Reznikov said.
