In July, the Ukrainian military used more drones than the Russians.

This was announced by Volodymyr Zelenskyy in his evening video address on 6 August.

"Our Ukrainian Defence and Security Forces are already gaining the upper hand in this regard, and in July our soldiers used more drones than the occupier. This should be a steady trend on the frontline - for all types of drones that our units have. From FPV to all others, including our long-range drones, which are already having a strategic impact on the war," the Head of State said.

The President noted that the Ministry of Strategic Industry and the Ministry of Digital Transformation had reported on the production and financing of drones at the meeting on Tuesday. 

"One million drones have already been contracted to our manufacturers for this year, and there will be more drones in total for the next year. We do not disclose all the details now, but our capacity to produce drones is constantly growing, and we are working not only with state funding but also with partners to invest in our drone production," Zelenskyy said.
