Air Force spokesman Yuriy Ihnat said that Ukraine may have an advantage in drones over Russia. It is access to Western technology that allows Ukraine to increase the number of attack drones, he told the national telethon.

"We may even be in a better position than Russia because we have access to Western technology. It is the support of the West that allows Ukraine to increase the number of attack drones," Ihnat said.

According to him, Russia is running out of missiles, so it will focus on drones in its attacks on Ukraine. Also, a large number of attack drones will allow it to intensify strikes on Ukraine.

Ukroboronprom earlier announced that it would provide the Defence Forces with hundreds of new drones by the end of this year.
